Master's degree is a level of higher professional education, following the Bachelor's degree, which allows to deepen specialisation in a certain professional field, and in some cases - to change it.

Master's programme gives the graduate an opportunity to get a second full diploma of another level. The difference lies in the nature of the training: a Master's programme involves more in-depth knowledge and skills in a narrow field than a Bachelor's programme, and also prepares the student for research activities.

Persons with higher education of any level are admitted to Master's programmes.
