What is undergraduate study?

UPDATED 02 SEP 2025 | 6:23AM

Undergraduate study is study undertaken after you finish secondary school, therefore it is often referred to as post-secondary education. It is typically undertaken at a higher education institution, such as a university.

The most common type of undergraduate study is the bachelor's degree, which usually takes three to four years to complete. If a student achieves a strong course weighted average (CWA), they may be invited to complete an additional year and graduate with honours, subject to availability.
