 In this model, following the Bologna process directives, higher education is split into a 3 to 4-year Bachelor programme ending with a title of "licencjat" (non-technical) or "inżynier" (technical fields), and a 2-year programme ("uzupełniające studia magisterskie") giving the title of "magister" or "magister inżynier".Nevertheless, even in these institutions, it is often possible to bridge the Bachelor education directly into the Master programme, without formally obtaining the "licencjat" degree, thus shortening the time needed for completing the education slightly.Depending on field and school, the timing may be slightly different.
