Poland
The Polish equivalent of Master of Science is "magister" (abbreviation "mgr", placed before one's name, like Dr). In the 2001, the MSc programs typically lasting 5 years started to split and were replaced as described below:
- 3-year associates programs (termed "licencjat". No abbreviation or title is placed before one's name)
- 3.5-year engineer programs (termed "inżynier" with abbreviation "inż.", placed before one's name)
- 2-year master programs available to both bachelors and engineers.
- 1.5-year master programs available only to engineers.
The degree is awarded mostly in the natural sciences, mathematics and computer science fields, and economics, but also in the arts and other disciplines. Those who finished engineer program prior to being awarded master degree are allowed to precede their names by "mgr inż." (which literally means "master engineer"), that occurs mostly in engineering and agricultural field of studies. The completion of a research thesis is required. All Master's degrees in Poland qualify for a doctorate program.
