The Education System in Canada

The education system in Canada includes different levels of education i.e Secondary Schools, Community Colleges, Language Colleges, Universities, and University Colleges. Canada has a strong and well-funded system of public education, largely managed provincially. But as education is overseen by the federal government, the standard of education remains consistently high throughout the country.

Education institutions are not officially ranked in Canada, but you will find quality institutions across the country. When choosing your school in Canada, consider the type, size, and location of the institution. If you are interested in higher education in a particular area of study, investigate which schools have more to offer in that discipline.

The post-secondary education system in Canada is divided into:

• Certificate level (generally for one year)
• Diploma level (one or two years) 
• Advanced Diploma (generally two or three-year)
• Bachelor degrees (three or four years of full-time study)
• Post-graduate Diplomas/Certificates (for one or two years)
• Master’s degrees, available after a bachelor degree to excel in a certain subject (for one to two years)
• Doctorate or PhD (generally four to seven years)
