Central Europe and Eastern Europe
In Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia obtaining the Magister requires at least four to six years of study including coursework and a final thesis, similar to a Diplom degree. Magisters tend to be awarded in the humanities and the social sciences, while Diploms dominate in the natural sciences and in engineering.
Since the introduction of the Bologna Process in 2005 the Magister was replaced with the graduate master degree, which is designed to take 4(-6) years (including the undergraduate 3-year Bachelor degree).
