Most master's programs in Denmark and other European countries are two years in duration, typically requiring 120 ECTS credits.

Some specialized fields, like Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, may take longer (up to three years). One-year master's programs are less common but do exist in certain countries and subjects.

Duration can vary by country, university, and program, but two years is the standard across Europe.
