 HBO Master's are usually started only after several years of work and are similarly focused on specialization.The title is signified by the abbreviation M and therefore an MBA would indicate a HBO Master's degree in business administration, but use of the MBA title is protected and it can only be granted by accredited schools.As a result of the Bologna-process and the Quality reform, the degree system of Norwegian higher education consists of the two main levels "Bachelor's degree" and "Master's degree".
