While undergraduate programs in the UK typically last for 3 years, some technical and engineering programs may last for 4 years. Master’s programs usually last for 1 year, and doctoral programs last for an average of 4 years. In Australia, undergraduate programs generally last for 3 years, master’s programs for 2 years, and doctoral programs for 3 to 4 years.
