What exactly do you mean by 'master'? Speak like a well-spoken native and be able to read well over 2000 Kanji characters? If so, I reckon that you would need to be a very, very linguistically talented genius to do so.

To be honest, I think that hitting 1000 Kanji (say, 6500 compounds) in the first year of study, retain them, while studying grammar/speaking/writing from scratch to upper intermediate/lower advanced level will strain most mortals.

And that's not even close to 'mastery'.
