Bachelor of ScienceLe Bachelor of Science (BSc) ou le Baccalauréat ès sciences (B.Sc.) au Canada est un grade universitaire existant dans de nombreux pays. Il est obtenu après trois années d'étude en Grande-Bretagne, Pays de Galles, Irlande du Nord, Québec, Singapour, Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande, Hong Kong et Afrique du Sud et quatre années dans le reste de l'Amérique du Nord, en Irlande et en Écosse. Ce terme est souvent abrégé en B.Sc. ou B.S. (plus rarement en S.B. ou Sc.B.), initiales de l'expression latine Baccalaureus Scientiæ.
Formation professionnelleLa formation professionnelle est le processus d'apprentissage qui permet à un salarié ou un demandeur d'emploi d'acquérir le savoir, le savoir-faire et le savoir-être (capacité et aptitude) nécessaires à l'exercice d'un métier ou d'une activité professionnelle. La formation professionnelle s’apparente beaucoup à la formation continue mais elle est bien distincte de cette dernière. En effet, elle vise à gagner de nouvelles compétences nécessaires à une évolution ou à un changement de métier.
Doctor of EngineeringThe Doctor of Engineering (or engineering doctorate) (abbreviated DEng or EngD) is a professional degree awarded in engineering and applied science. An EngD is a terminal degree similar to a PhD in engineering but applicable more in industry rather than in academia. The degree is usually aimed toward working professionals. The DEng/EngD along with the PhD represents the highest academic qualification in engineering, and the successful completion of either in engineering is generally required to gain employment as a full-time, tenure-track university professor or postdoctoral researcher in the field.
Bachelor of EducationA Bachelor of Education (B.Ed. or BEd) is an undergraduate professional degree which prepares students for work as a teacher in schools. In some countries such as Tanzania and Kenya, additional tasks like field work and research are required in order for the student to be fully qualified to teach. It may also be accompanied with or followed by tests for licenses or certifications required for teachers in some areas.
Regulation and licensure in engineeringRegulation and licensure in engineering is established by various jurisdictions of the world to encourage life, public welfare, safety, well-being, then environment and other interests of the general public and to define the licensure process through which an engineer becomes licensed to practice engineering and to provide professional services and products to the public. As with many other professions and activities, engineering is often a restricted activity.
Master of ScienceLe Master of Science (MSc) ou la Maîtrise ès sciences (M.Sc.) au Canada francophone est un grade universitaire des études scientifiques existant dans les pays de tradition universitaire anglo-saxonne. Un diplôme en France porte le même nom. Toutefois, il s'inscrit dans un format totalement différent et ne doit pas être confondu avec cet homologue anglo-saxon. Ce grade universitaire est obtenu en un à deux ans après l’obtention d’un premier grade. Le Master of Science a été introduit pour la première fois à l'université du Michigan en 1858.
Bachelor of EngineeringA Bachelor of Engineering (BE or BEngg) or a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc (Engg) or BSE) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded to a student after three to five years of studying engineering at an accredited college or university. In the United Kingdom, a Bachelor of Engineering degree will be accredited by one of the Engineering Council's professional engineering institutions as suitable for registration as an incorporated engineer or chartered engineer with further study to masters level.
Processus de Bolognevignette|180px|Logotype du processus de Bologne. Le processus de Bologne est un processus de rapprochement des systèmes d'études supérieures européens amorcé en 1998 et qui a conduit à la création en 2010 de l'espace européen de l'enseignement supérieur, constitué de 48 États. Cet espace concerne principalement les États de l'Espace économique européen ainsi que, notamment, la Turquie et la Russie. Les études supérieures en Afrique et celles de l'ancienne Union soviétique ont aussi été réformées en raison des liens historiques, politiques et linguistiques qui unissent certains pays avec leur zone d'influence.
Dental degreeA number of professional degrees in dentistry are offered by dental schools in various countries around the world.

Terminal degreeA terminal degree is the highest-level college degree that can be achieved and awarded in an academic discipline or professional field. In other cases, it is a degree that is awarded because a doctoral-level degree is not available nor appropriate. An earned academic (or research) doctorate such as a Ph.D., Ed.D. or D.B.A. is considered the terminal degree in most academic fields, as well as the most advanced degree possible, advancing the boundaries of human knowledge through research and dissertation defense, in the United States.
Bachelors of Medicine and SurgeryLes Bachelor of Medicine et Bachelor of Surgery désignent deux diplômes universitaires décernés après cinq à six années d'études de médecine ou de chirurgie dans les universités britanniques et dans certains pays de traditions britanniques tels que l'Australie ou la Nouvelle-Zélande. Ces bachelors sont théoriquement deux diplômes à part entière mais en pratique, on les considère souvent comme un seul. Au Royaume-Uni, ce sont les diplômes équivalents du Doctor of Medicine.
Doctor of MedicineDoctor of Medicine (abbreviated M.D., from the Latin Medicinae Doctor) is a medical degree, the meaning of which varies between different jurisdictions. In the United States, and some other countries, the M.D. denotes a professional degree.

In England, however, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery was used and eventually in the 19th century became the standard in Scotland too.
