United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, the degree of bachelor is the most common type of "undergraduate degree", although some master's degrees can be undertaken immediately after finishing secondary education, however these courses are extended versions of bachelors degree programs, taking an additional year to complete. Most bachelors degrees take three years to complete, with some notable exceptions such as Medicine taking five years. Often students can initially enroll in a 4 year program then leave after three years and be awarded a bachelors degree.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity—an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 18:3.
