Everything about M S totally explained
A
Master of Science (
Latin:
Magister Scientiæ; abbreviated
MSc,
M.Sc.,
M.Sci. or
M.S.) is a postgraduate academic
master's degree awarded by universities in a large number of countries. The degree is typically studied for in the sciences and occasionally in the
social sciences.
United Kingdom
The MSc is typically a "taught" postgraduate degree, involving lectures, examination, and a short project. Taught masters programmes involve 1 or 2 years of full-time study. Some universities also offer research MSc programmes, where a longer project or set of projects is undertaken full-time.
Until recently, both the undergraduate and postgraduate masters degrees were awarded without grade or class (like the class of an
honours degree). Nowadays however, masters degrees are normally classified into the categories of Pass and Distinction, with some universities also using an intermediate Merit category.
This education pattern in United Kingdom is followed in
India and many
Commonwealth Nations.
United States
The
Master of Arts (
Magister Artium) and
Master of Science (
Magister Scientiæ) degrees are the basic type of in most subjects and may be entirely course-based, entirely research-based or (more typically) a mixture.
Admission to a master's program is normally contingent upon holding a
bachelor's degree, and progressing to a
doctoral program may require a master's degree. In some fields or graduate programs, work on a doctorate can begin immediately after the bachelors degree. Some programs provide for a joint bachelor's and master's degree after about five years. Some universities use the Latin degree names, and due to the flexibility of
word order in Latin,
Artium Magister (AM) or
Scientiæ Magister (SM) may be used at some schools.
Germany
The
Master of Science (M.Sc.) is an academic degree which is awarded in the natural sciences, mathematics and informatics. Depending on the focus of studies, it can also be awarded in engineering or economics. There is always a total of 5 years of study needed which corresponds to 300
ECTS-Credits. Furthermore, it always requires a scientific
thesis. All Master's degrees in Germany are equivalent and qualify for a
doctorate program. They are also equivalent to the traditional five-year
Diplom and
Magister degrees. The degree "Master of Science" is in most cases
not followed by a field of study. It can be awarded by university alternatively in the german translation "Magister der Wissenschaften", but one can't switch between the degree notations at will and must use the form as it was awarded.
