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.

Denmark

In Denmark, cand.polit. refers exclusively to the MSc Economics degree offered by the University of Copenhagen. Economics degrees from other Danish universities are known as cand. oecon.

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After the "Quality Reform" it has been replaced by a Master of Philosophy degree, shortening the nominal study time from six to five years.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 or a two-and-a-half-year[1] extension to the four-year cand.mag. degree.
