							| Hello Manzura. Generally, a B.A (Bachelor of Arts) degree is usually the first degree someone would attain and it normally takes about 3/4 years.. A M.A. (Masters of Arts) degree can take approx. 2/3 years to attain, after your B.A. degree. A PhD is a doctorate degree and can take anywhere upwards to 5 years (approx) to attain. There are numerous types for example -  PhD, EdD, MD, DDS. Your graduation diploma should indicate what degree you have attained. Hope this helps a little. All the best.

							| @maceman: Yeah, but in post communist countries we would normally study for 5 full years and we were then called "specialist" which of course does not exist as a degree in western countries. @Manzura: You �re definitely more than a Bachelor. Where are you applying? Are you a newly graduated teacher? Nope, you have "a teacher for 15 years" on your profile. Maybe you sould mention the name of your university and that you �ve completed 5 years of training. How is your degree called in the diploma? Maybe you could translate that? Here �s a chart from British Council that helps you define your stage as a teacher http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/continuing-professional-development
