Our list of
master's degrees:
Master's degree - general description A master degree
is an academic degree granted to individuals who have
undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order
overview of a specific field of study or area of
professional practice. Within the area studied,
graduates are posited to possess advanced knowledge of a
specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high
order skills in analysis, critical evaluation or
professional application; and the ability to solve complex
problems and think rigorously and independently. In some languages, a master's degree is called a magister, and magister or a cognate can also be used for a person who has the degree. There are various degrees of the same level, such as engineer's degrees, which have different names for historical reasons. There has recently been
an increase in programs leading to these degrees in the
United States. In Europe, there has been a standardization
of conditions to deliver the master's degrees and most
countries present degrees in all disciplines.
Titles The two most common
titles of master's degrees are the Master of Arts (M.A.) and
Master of Science (M.S., M.Si., or M.Sc.); these may be
course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two. Some
universities use the Latin degree names; because of the
flexibility of word order in Latin, the Master of Arts and
Master of Science may be known as magister artium
or artium magister and magister
scientiæ or scientiarum magister,
respectively. Harvard University and MIT, for example, use
A.M. and S.M. for their master's degrees. More commonly,
Master of Science often is abbreviated MS or M.S. in the
United States, and MSc or M.Sc. in Commonwealth nations and
Europe. Other master's degrees
are more specifically named ("tagged degrees"), including,
for example, the Master of Music (M.M. or M.Mus.), Master of
Communication (M.C.), Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.),
Master of Physician Assistant Studies (M.P.A.S.), Master of
Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.), Master of Engineering (M.Eng.),
Master of Commerce (M.Com), and the Master of Fine Arts
(M.F.A.); some are similarly general, for example the
M.Phil. and the Master of Studies. See List of master's
degrees.
Pathways There are a range of
pathways to the degree, with entry based on evidence of a
capacity to undertake higher degree studies in the proposed
field. A dissertation may or may not be required, depending
on the program. In general, the structure and duration of a
program of study leading to a master's degree will differ by
country and by university.
Duration In some systems, such as
those of the United States and Japan, a master's degree is a
strictly postgraduate academic degree. Particularly in the
U.S., in some programs, work on a doctorate begins
immediately after the bachelor's degree, but the master's
may be earned along the way as a 'Master's degree "en
route"', following successful completion of coursework and
certain examinations. Masters programs are thus one to six
years in duration. By contrast, in some
cases, such as the Integrated Master's Degree in the
UK, the degree is combined with a Bachelor of Science, as a
4 year degree . Unlike a traditional MSc, the fourth year
finishes at the same time as undergraduate degrees in the
early summer, whereas traditional MSc students typically
spend the summer vacation completing a dissertation and
finish in September. In the recently
standardized European System of higher education (Bologna
process), a master degree programme normally carries 90 -
120 ECTS credits, with a minimum requirement of at least 60
ECTS credits at master level (one- or two-year full time
postgraduate program) undertaken after at least three years
of undergraduate studies. It provides higher qualification
for employment or prepares for doctoral studies. As one ECTS
credit is equivalent to 25 hours of study this means that a
masters degree program should include 2250 hours of study.
Current U.K. MSc/MA program tend to include 1800 hours of
study (or 180 UK credits), although many claim to be
equivalent to a ECTS accredited master degree.
General information about Admission In countries in which a
master's degree is a postgraduate degree, admission to a
master's program normally requires holding a bachelor's
degree, and in the United Kingdom, Canada and much of the
Commonwealth, an 'honours' bachelor degree. In both cases,
relevant work experience may qualify a candidate. In some
cases the student's bachelor's degree must be in the same
subject as the intended master's degree (e.g. a Master of
Economics will typically require a Bachelors with a major in
economics), or in a closely allied, "cognate", discipline
(e.g. Applied Mathematics degrees may accept graduates in
physics, mathematics or computer science); in others, the
subject of the bachelor's degree is unimportant (e.g. MBA)
although, often in these cases, undergraduate coursework in
specific subjects may be required (e.g. some M.S.F. degrees
require credits in calculus for admission, but none in
finance or economics).
Comparable European
degrees In some European
countries, a magister is a first degree and may be
considered equivalent to a modern (standardized) master's
degree (e.g., the German and Austrian university
Diplom/Magister, or the similar 5-year Diploma awarded
in several subjects in Greek, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese,
and other universities and polytechnics).
