Cand.polit.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Candidatus rerum politicarum (male), Candidata rerum politicarum (female), abbreviated cand. polit., is an academic degree within the fields of social sciences issued under the old education system in Denmark and Norway.

[edit] Norway

After the "Quality Reform" it has been replaced by a Master of Philosophy degree, shortening the nominal study time from six to five years. The cand.polit. degree was a two year extension to the four year cand. mag. degree.
