Master's degree Redirected from MSc
A Master's degree is an academic degree generally awarded for completion of a postgraduate[?] course of one to two years in duration.
The Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees are the basic type in most subjects and may be entirely course-based, entirely research-based or a mixture.
In the UK, many universities now have a four year undergrad programme in science courses, with a small project in the final year. The awards for these are named after the subject, so a course in mathematics would earn a Master of Mathematics degree, abbreviated to MMath.
The Master of Philosophy is a research degree awarded for the completion of a thesis. It is a shorter version of the PhD and some universities routinely enter potential PhD students into the MPhil programme and allow them to upgrade to the full PhD programme a year or two into the course.
Other Master's degrees:
- MBA
- MM- Master of Management
