The main conclusion of the survey is that, although there is still a significant variety with regard to the duration and architecture of degrees in the European Higher Education Area, there is a dominant trend towards Master level degrees that require the equivalent of 300 ECTS credits, although examples of slightly longer and slightly shorter courses can be found. It is suggested that in the further discussions on the Bologna Process and in particular in the preparation of the Berlin Conference 2003 the participants agree on the definition that a Master degree in the European Higher Education Area requires normally the completion of 300 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 should be obtained at the graduate level in the area of the specialisation concerned.
