There are critics about the lengthy duration of German universities' degree programs and the incompatibility of German degrees internationally. After the implementation of the two-tiered system leading to the Bachelor's and Master's degree, the new system promises to widen the opportunities for exchange, especially for graduate students. In this new system, one can obtain a Bachelor's degree after only six semesters. Students may then continue on for another four semesters and earn a Master's degree or the traditional German "Diplom".
