An academic programme is a combination of courses and related activities organized for the achievement of specific learning outcomes as defined by the University/higher institution of learning.

Certificate Programmes

Community or technical colleges typically offer academic certificate programs. These types of academic programs generally prepare students to enter a vocation after the certificate is awarded. Some certificate-based academic programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience to teach students a specific trade or skill. Other certificate programs are offered at the graduate level and add additional credentials to an individual's existing degree. Certificate programs take anywhere from a few weeks to two years to complete.

Undergraduate Programmes

Undergraduate academic programs usually lead to an associate's or bachelor's degree in a particular area of study. These academic programmes might offer seminars, internships, workshops, and online courses in addition to traditional live classes. Academic programs leading to an associate's degree take two years to complete, while those leading to a bachelor's degree require four years of study.

Graduate Programmes

Those who choose to pursue a master's or doctoral degree will enter graduate academic programs. Graduate academic programmes can take between two and four years to complete. Many who enter these types of academic programs are already working in their field. In some cases, a graduate degree may be necessary in order to enter a certain career field. Business, education, and law are among the most common types of graduate academic programmes.
