It is true that a courses now in college will make it 5 years?

I took 4 years premed, then another 4 years in medicine then another year internship

in here,China,there are four years courses primarily,unless you take medicine courses or other few courses.i remembered,last time in congress someone proposed to set five-year scheme,but not approved

This was proposed in congress,by some wise men, but alas, it never took off the ground...so no, it's not passed,not approved, rejected and buried to the ground. We're back to our four-year scheme. There has to be a much better reason for increasing the number of years...with the crisis we are facing now, that bill is a double side kick on the pockets of parents, who are already burdened with problems left and right....

here in the philippines, it depends on what course you are taking and which school you are attending. Like take me for example, i'm taking architecture and it's a five year course herefor the general studies. if you want to take specialized courses for it, it take another few years at grad school.
