There is no "appropriate level" for a Master project - the sky is the limit! Actually, the OP said he was on the Bachelor level. However there isn't really a level for that either. The perceived difficulty is fictitious - after doing programming all day every day for several years involving tons of courses with a huge variety involving all but all software areas, *anything* is possible! The only "level" which might come to play is the scope - i.e., not how difficult someone else would say something is, but how much code is to be produced and how many problems are to be solved - that is, a mere quantitative level. As for the scope it took me 1.5 years doing my Master including the summer and winter "brakes". And it wasn't because of laziness, let me tell you! This was supposed to be done in a singe semester. I did the same thing as five other people did at two North American universities. So in a way, even the scope is of no matter :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
