In the Philippines, a degree is usually earned after four or five years of study in a university or college, while a diploma can be obtained after one to two years of study at a technical or vocational institution. A degree is often required for professional fields, while a diploma can lead to early job entry, typically in technical or vocational fields. References: 1.
