Now, the degrees offered to university students and institutes are Bachelor's and Master's degrees instead of Diploma and magister degrees. Bachelor's degree is first graduation degree after six to eight terms of study and Master's degree offers other two to three terms of study.

After completion of Master's, students can study further to get doctorate degree known as PhD.
