You will need to consider what level you are eligible to study before you can proceed further. This means that you will need to decide the level of the degree you are seeking. In this section of the website, you should read through the following pages which describe different levels of degrees in order to see if you meet the general requirements for that level. The focus of this website is academic, and you will not find references to any non-academic training courses or programs.
You may find that you are not eligible and that you will need to take a qualifying exam before you can be accepted to a degree program. In this case, you should read through the page which describes qualifying exams to find out how you you can arrange to study, sit, and pass the exam so you can be eligible to enter university abroad. Qualifying exams are commonly English language proficiency exams or High School equivalence exams.

Diplomas are often 1-3 years in length, and they can be issued by any organization. They are usually taken in order to get employment skills in a certain profession or a general understanding about a specific subject.

Bachelor degrees usually take 3-5 years to complete. From Myanmar, you usually need high school plus two years of Myanmar university (or an internationally accredited high school diploma or certificate) and an English qualification to be eligible.
