Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bachelor's degree?
A bachelor’s degree or undergraduate degree is an educational qualification that you receive after you graduate from a specific programme of study. It is typically the first step of higher education that high school students can pursue once they graduate. Bachelor degrees help build a solid educational foundation in the subject of your interest, or passion, thereby making you a great candidate for a job in your field. Also, most master’s degree programmes have bachelor’s degrees in their entry requirements, which means you’ll need one if you’d like to study further.
How many years is bachelor's degree program?
Bachelor’s degree programs are typically four years long. However, this often varies around the world and depends on the country, subject, the institution, method of study (whether full time or part time), whether the course is via distance learning or not and much more. In recent years, the usefulness of an online education is being more and more recognised, paving new ways to pursue an undergraduate programme – and this too has an impact on its duration.
Can I do an online bachelor's degree?
Yes, you can do an online bachelor’s degree! AT IU, we believe that education needs to be flexible and accessible to everyone, which is why we offer online degrees in a variety of current, career-focused subjects.

Our online degrees also give you the flexibility to decide your own study schedule, so you can study on your own time.
Which bachelor's degree is best for an MBA?
There isn’t a specific degree that is universally regarded as the best for an MBA. The field of study for your bachelor’s study depends on your personal interests and career goals. Most MBA graduates come from diverse educational backgrounds such as business, finance, economics, engineering, or even liberal arts! However, something you can consider is to choose a bachelor’s degree that aligns with your desired MBA specialisation or the industry you wish to work in. Ultimately, the best bachelor’s degree for an MBA is one that equips you with relevant skills, knowledge, and a solid foundation for your chosen MBA specialization.
Can I do two bachelor’s degrees at the same time?
Can I do two bachelor's degree at the same time?
Depending on the institution, the programmes and your time schedules, it could be possible to pursue two bachelor’s degrees at the same time. However, it could be challenging and time consuming, since both programmes will have deliverables such as research, assignments, projects and coursework, as well as examinations. Taking up two degree courses at the same time would require careful planning.
How many years is a master degree?
A master’s degree typically takes one to two years of full-time study. However, the duration can vary depending on the country, programme, and whether you study part-time or full-time. Some specialised or research-intensive master’s programmes may take longer to complete.
Which master's degree is most in demand?
The demand for Master’s degrees varies depending on the current job market and industry. However, in recent times, the most in-demand master’s degrees are in fields like applied artificial intelligence, data science, cyber security, healthcare administration, business analytics, and computer science. These areas are experiencing rapid growth and require specialised skills. Earning a Master’s degree in one of these high-demand fields can enhance job prospects and open up opportunities for rewarding careers with competitive salaries.
Can we do a master's degree after a diploma?
It is possible in some cases to pursue a master’s degree after completing a diploma programme. However, this depends on the diploma programme and the kind of master’s degree programme you are interested in. However, you should keep in mind that typically, a diploma may not always be sufficient for admission to all master’s programmes.
