The Master's Degree builds on the foundation laid by the Bachelor's. As a rule it will take 4 semesters (sometimes 3) to complete a Master's Degree. All new accredited Master's degrees are recognised throughout the whole of Europe.

Students who aspire to delve into studies at a higher level than Bachelor's, in pursuit of an academic career, for instance, or in order to specialise in a particular field, may apply for a Master's programme which is also a requirement if you wish to do a PhD later on.

In accordance with the Europe-wide Bologna process, consecutive Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes as well as the ECTS system will be introduced consistently at all German universities and universities of applied sciences by the year 2010. All of the accredited new Bachelor's degrees will be recognised throughout Europe.

Some special entrance requirements may be demanded for Master's Degrees applicants, such as a minimum average grade at Bachelor's level, a particular area of specialisation etc.

There are two different kinds of Master's degrees in Germany:

• Consecutive Master's degree which follows on from and builds onto the Bachelor's degree. The consecutive Master's degree can - provided that the area of specialisation remains the same - may be chosen as an interdisciplinary course. The degree titles obtainable are for instance Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Master of Laws (LL.M.).

• Non-consecutive Master's degrees these also include professional degrees such as Master of Business Administration (MBA) where the student is required to gather work experience before applying
