II consists of more advanced studies (Hauptstudium) leading to the final degree
examination. The Hauptstudium usually lasts for five more semesters and leads

predominantly in the Arts, on the basis of the Magister examination. The course
of study comprises either two equally weighed major subjects or a combination
of one major and two minor subjects.
As a first degree, the Magister is usually
awarded as a Magister Artium/MA without specifying individual subjects. The
Magistergrad can also be awarded at the end of one or two years' postgraduate studies
following upon the acquisition of a first degree. Within the new graduation
system of consecutive courses leading to a BA/BSc after three to four years, a
Master of Arts/Science may be acquired after anothrer one to two years.
