The duration of two non-foreign graduation courses varies depending on the country and area of study. In many places, courses can last three to four years, with some specific areas, such as engineering and medicine, requiring longer periods.
The academic year generally begins at the beginning of the year, in January or February, or in the second semester, between July and September, depending on the country and the university. Some programs allow some flexibility in starting dates and extending the period of study for complementary courses or programs.
