How Canada's Education System Works
Transcript
Are you interested in studying in Canada, and want to know more about how our education system works?
Canada is known to have one of the best education systems in the world.
Each of Canada's 13 provinces and territories runs their own school system and follows government standards to ensure high quality public education across the country.
School is mandatory from about the age of 6 years old to 18 years old.
After secondary school, students may choose between college and university.
Both education systems help students prepare for their futures.
Here's why a Canadian post-secondary education may be a great choice for your future.
At college, students can get hands-on, practical or technical skills training for a specific career.
You can study things like graphic design, web development, culinary arts, occupational health and more.
Colleges often work with employers in different industries to develop the latest curriculum.
Depending on your college program, you might study anywhere from one to three years.
When you graduate, you'll receive a certificate or diploma.
At university, students often study in-depth, theoretical subjects, like law, medicine, art history, engineering and much more.
Depending on your program, you might study anywhere from three to seven years.
When you graduate, you'll receive a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree.
In the province of Quebec, the education system is unique.
After secondary school, you can attend a collège d'enseignement général et professionnel, known as CÉGEP.
There, you may choose a three-year technical program to prepare you for a job in your field, or a two-year academic program to prepare you for continued studies at university.
No matter in which province you study, choosing between college and university depends on your interests and goals.
Consider this: Canadian colleges and universities offer flexibility.
If you study at one school and wish to transfer to another, you might receive academic credit for courses you've already completed.
Several of Canada's universities appear on well-known university rankings lists.
Some Canadian college and university programs offer co-operative or work-integrated learning experiences where students alternate between studying in class and working in their field of study.
Some people even choose to attend both college and university.
Whatever your choice, Canada is a great place to study.
