What is a masters degree?
Masters degrees are academic programmes offered by universities to students who have completed a recognised undergraduate qualification. These degrees are recognized as representative of academic study and research at an advanced level.
Students apply to study masters level degrees from across the world, and universities welcome applications from motivated candidates who are prepared to commit to study one-year full time or two years part time, or online in order to complete their programme.
