In Denmark, it looks like Universities translate "Candidate" (Danish; kandidat) as Master's degree. The English term "Candidate" is not used, so the Wiki page is misleading.

Example

Sweden

Now kandidat implies three years in Sweden. --Per W (talk) 13:30, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Proposal

Begin transclusion---------------

Merger proposal

I propose merging Cand.scient., Candidatus realium, Candidate of Psychology, Candidatus philologiæ, Cand.polit., Cand.oecon., Cand.med.vet., Candidate of Medicine, Cand.mag., Candidate of Law, and Cand.theol. into Latin academic degrees in Scandinavia Latin academic degrees in Europe. These Norwegian and Danish academic degree titles are almost all stubs. They all need similar background information that I think could be better explained on a shared page to avoid overlap.

• Support this merge. Joyous! Noise! 21:25, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Cmnt: I think we're safe with acting BOLDLY here. Therefore, I have moved the largest, oldest, and best developed article to the new target. Awaiting further mergers to that article. GenQuest ^"scribble" 04:18, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Its come to my attention that the page Candidate (degree) might be a better, existing target for this merge, which would be more clear and specific than referring to these degrees as "latin".Uffda608 (talk) 17:44, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Support merge to Candidate (degree) as suggested by Uffda above. Felix QW (talk) 04:29, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
