Master studies represent the second level of higher education, which are pursued after obtaining bachelor degree. Upon the completion of Master studies, a student receives a Master’s degree and additional 60 or 120 ECTS depending on whether it was a one-year or a two-year Master program. Students may attend a Master program at the university of their undergraduate studies or at other related faculties. If students intends to switch to another university, in some cases they will be required to pass differential exams. In that case, the terms of the competition will emphasize requirements.

The Academic Counseling Program aims to provide interested students with information on the available Master programs at various universities around the world. As a local administrative unit of the Central European University, BOS administers scholarships and assists interested candidates throughout the application process for one of 39 different Master programs.

BOS supports connections between interested students and alumni in order for them to obtain relevant information. BOS also promotes the scholarship program at various universities and education fairs and organizes individual counseling sessions for interested students and preparatory sessions for admitted students.
