Editing Postgraduate education (section)

===Professional programs===
There are many professional programs such as medical and dental school require a previous bachelors for admission and are considered graduate or [[Graduate Entry]] programs even though they culminate in a bachelor's degree. Example, the [[Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery|Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS)]] or [[Dentistry|Bachelor of Dentistry (BDent)]].

There has also been some confusion over the conversion of the different marking schemes between British, US, and Australian systems for the purpose of assessment for entry to graduate programmes. The Australian grades are divided into four categories: High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, and Pass (though many institutions have idiosyncratic grading systems). Assessment and evaluation based on the Australian system is not equivalent to British or US schemes because of the "low-marking" scheme used by Australian universities. For example, a British student who achieves 70+ will receive an A grade, whereas an Australian student with 70+ will receive a Distinction which is not the highest grade in the marking scheme.
