 Before the implementation of this system, various titles were given in accordance with the field of study and the length of the course.For instance, a three-year undergraduate degree in engineering would give the title "høgskoleingeniør" (Bachelor's degree), and a 4,5 to 5 year graduate degree in engineering would give the title "sivilingeniør" (Master's degree).That being said, these titles are still very common and are, although formally abolished, degrees granted earlier are still being used, also by academic personnel.
