In case of medical training, veterinary training, pharmacist training, dentistry training, architectural studies, civil engineering studies and teachers’ training for general teachers, Bachelor's and Master's level study is integrated into a unified whole. These curricula are called integrated curricula of Bachelor's and Master's study and just like in case of graduating from Master’s study, students get a Master’s degree. 

Under medicine and veterinary medicine programmes, the standard duration of the study programme is six academic years and the workload established in the curriculum is 360 credits. The standard period of medical training and veterinary training is six years and the study load is 360 ECTS credits; the standard period of pharmacist training, dentistry training, architectural studies, civil engineering studies and teacher training for general teachers is five years and the study load is 300 ECTS credits. 

Integrated study ends with the taking of a final examination or the defence of a thesis. Persons who have completed study are, after completion of the full curriculum, awarded the academic degree together with an academic transcript, and are issued free of charge a diploma supplement in English by the educational institution.
