dbpprop:abstract
  • A first professional degree is an academic degree that prepares the holder for a particular profession by emphasizing competency skills along with theory and analysis. These professions are typically licensed or otherwise regulated by a governmental or government-approved body. Areas such as nursing, architecture, forestry, law, medicine, engineering, dentistry, psychology, accounting, podiatry, audiology, physical therapy, optometry, pharmacy, social work, religious ministry, or education, among others, often require such degrees for licensing. Professional degrees, often taken as a candidate's second degree after an undergraduate degree in an academic subject, are especially important in the United States. In the United States, many professional degrees are combined with graduate degrees, and some students undertake professional studies after graduate studies (MS or PhD). In some other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the study of vocational subjects at undergraduate level, and post-graduate qualifications outside the academic degree structure, also play a large role in professional training.

Examensbeviset brukar i en del fall vara kompletterat med ett s.k. diploma supplement utfärdat på engelska, som är ett internationellt intyg för examen. Yrkesexamina instiftas av regeringen och det finns ett hundratal olika kategorier, såsom läkare, civilingenjör, agronom, lärare, revisor, sjuksköterska o.s.v. Yrkesexamen motsvarar internationellt ofta någon av examina högskole- kandidat- eller magisterexamen. I Storbritannien har en del yrken en speciell legitimation eller skyddad titel (Chartered Accountant eller Chartered Engineer) eller examina som liknar Master of Engineering, Master of Education, osv.
