Master's Program
Master programs normally last for 4 semesters (120 ECTS credits) at universities and for 2-4 semesters (60 to 120 ECTS credits) at universities of applied sciences. (ref: AACRAO EDGE) A total of 300 ECTS credits should have been awarded for the Bachelor and Master Degrees combined. A 4-year Bachelor Degree requires 240 ECTS, therefore a 1-year Master Degree with 60 ECTS is sufficient. A 3-year Bachelor Degree requires 180 ECTS, and so a 2-year Master Degree with 120 ECTS is necessary.
