Master degree
A Master's degree abroad is usually preceded by a bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree.
The master is in most countries as the second highest academic degree, and mainly serves in compulsory education, if one seeks an academic career or a career specialization.
Abroad, the difference between master's degrees "by coursework" and "by research". Masters Courses "by coursework" consist primarily of in-depth courses and a relatively short thesis. Masters Courses "by research", however, include (almost) no lectures, but may charge a very large proportion of research and a long dissertation.
