Assuming all requirements are met, the M.St. degree is generally awarded after about one year of full time study. The M.St. is considered equivalent to the French DEA (Diplôme d'études approfondies) and Spanish DEA (Diploma de Estudios Avanzados), in addition to other master's degrees such as the LL.M. (Master of Laws), M.Sc. (Master of Science), etc.
