mean, we have compiled a table of common Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. The degree awarded by
Hungarian faculties of law is called Juris Doctor or Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD), while medical universities here
award Doctor of Medicine (MD or DM). These are called junior or professional doctorates, which are above
Master’s level but not equivalent to intermediate doctorates, like a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), which requires 3
more years of study and the submission oforiginal research.
