Abitur ( Latin: "one who is going to go away", "a journey away is made", future active participle of abire) is a designation used in Germany, Finland, Lithuania, and Estonia for final exams that pupils take at the end of their secondary education, usually after twelve or thirteen years of schooling (see also for Germany Abitur after twelve years). Abitur is a matriculation examination and can be compared to A-level, Matura or the International Baccalaureate Diploma, which are all ranked as EQF level 4.
