Comment: "Thak you Niamh, your answer gave me what I needed for the job as well as a useful link to help when more detailed knowledge is necessary. But on the basis of the other comments and the website info that refers to it as a first degree I have added it to the glossary as 'Social and Economic Sciences Degree' rather than as a Masters."

: I agree - but being Austrian and having earned a "Magistra's degree" myself, I'm positive it's not a Master's degree. Degrees are usually hard to compare, but I'd say a Magister is something halfway in between a bachelor's and a master's degree ;)

Thank you! You are absolutely right of course. It's better not to translate.
