Master's degree is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's degree level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course.
Overview[edit]
Within the area studied, master's graduates are expected 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.
Types of Master's Degrees[edit]
There are a variety of master's degrees available across various fields. Some of the most common types include the Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Master of Fine Arts (MFA). Each of these degrees has its own set of prerequisites and requirements, and they each offer different outcomes for students.
Admission[edit]
Admission to a master's program is normally contingent upon holding a bachelor's degree. Some universities require a master's degree in order to progress to a doctoral program (PhD).
Duration[edit]
The duration for a Master's course ranges from one year to two years, part-time or full-time. A thesis or dissertation is generally required to complete the degree.
