What's the academic path in your country?

I'm always intrigued by how different it is in every country. I'll start! 

Brazil:
3 year high-school -> 4-6 year bachelor's (engineering and psychology take 5 years and medicine takes 6) -> 2 year MPhil (you must porsue a masters in order to apply for a PhD) -> 4 year PhD 

Thanks!

Canada:

* Undergraduate degree (3-4 years)
* Master's Degree (2 years)—optional in many situations
* PhD (5+ years)
   * Optionally (but most likely) followed by a post-doc (1-3 years) before getting a tenure-track position; this is *not* a degree (it's just some time doing research and improving your CV)
