Undergraduate studies typically last 4 years (5 in polytechnics and some technical/art schools and 6 in medical schools), postgraduate studies (Master level) lasting from 1 to 2 years and doctorates (PhD level) lasting from 3 to 6 years. All education levels are under the authority of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. Private schools are also included.
