The
Candidatus Degree (Master's Degree) can be obtained at universities and other
specialized research-based institutions of higher education. In most fields of
study admission requires a Bachelor's Degree in the same field of study.
The
degree is normally awarded after a total of 5 years of study: the Bachelor's
Degree (3 years) and a 2-year Candidatus programme with the exceptions of Medicine
(3 years) and Veterinary Medicine (2 1/2 years). Independent research
activities are an important part of the Candidatus programme.
The
speciale/candidatus thesis is a major requirement and requires six months to
one year's full-time study. The Magister Artium (rare) is awarded on completion of three years'
research-oriented study after the Bachelor's Degree and public defence of a
thesis in certain fields of the Humanities.
