Undergraduate degree
In the United Kingdom, a bachelor's degree is the most common type of "undergraduate degree". Some master's degrees can be undertaken immediately after finishing secondary education; however, these courses are usually extended versions of bachelor's degree programs, taking an additional year to complete. Most bachelor's degrees take three years to complete, with some notable exceptions, such as Medicine taking five years. Often students can initially enroll in a 4-year program then leave after three years and be awarded a bachelor's degree.
Undergraduate Colleges of Stony Brook University
Although the undergraduate colleges are targeted to first year students, it is possible to stay involved beyond the first year if students so choose. As upperclassmen, students may become "Fellows" for their undergraduate college where they are expected to help out at new student orientation, TA a UGC 101 class, and put on programs for the freshmen students in the college. Students may also become Interns for the college or Resident Assistants in the UGCs quad, so they may put on events around the college, among other activities.
