Cycles
The European higher education area adopted a system based on three cycles of study, at bachelor, master and doctorate's level, that is:
- 1st cycle of study lasting three or four years to attain a bachelor's degree, in Portugal called a licenciatura
- 2nd cycle of study lasting one or two years to attain a master's degree, in Portugal called a mestrado
- 3rd cycle of study lasting three years to attain a doctorate, in Portugal called a doutoramento

Famous quotes containing the word cycles:
“The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.”
—Linda Goodman (b. 1929)
