Higher
education at university level generally consists of a course, usually four to
six years in duration, which confers the
higher education qualification of Oklevél/Egyetemi Oklevél (University-level
Degree) after the defence of a thesis and successful completion of the final
examination.
This qualification - which may also be called
"Master's"- entitles holders to practise a profession or to continue
higher education studies and obtain a Szakirányú Továbbképzési Oklevél
(Post-university Further Specialization Degree) in one to three years or to
pursue doctoral studies.
