Study
at master's level is at the forefront of an academic or professional
discipline. Students must show originality in their application of knowledge
and advancement of knowledge. The normal entry requirement for a Master's
degree is a good Bachelor's degree.
A Master's degree is normally studied over
one year. Some Master's programmes, including the M.Eng, are integrated in
undergraduate programmes and result in a postgraduate qualification, not an
undergraduate one, after four years of study.At a university, after two years
of additional study and the successful presentation of a thesis, students
obtain the Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) degree.
