Research Master’s


Again, self-explanatory would be the word to describe this type of course. Assessment takes the form of a dissertation and/or marked essays throughout the year, and the number of exams will be limited if any.


Evaluation is generally more continuous than on a taught master’s, so would suit those who prefer to get their grades as they go along to having to wait until the end of the year. Of course there is also the principal consideration of whether you are self-motivated enough to drive your own work; research master’s often have seminars and lectures as well but they do not form the structure of assessment in the same way as they do in taught master’s.


However if you already have a research proposal in mind and are champing at the bit to develop original ideas of your own, have a go at it! The discipline of time management and digging up sources from all over the place will also provide an excellent training for those hoping to progress to the next stage of academia: the PhD.


In Conclusion


Deciding which kind of master’s program you want to pursue is half the battle; once this choice is made you start whittling down the potential field of courses on the road to finding The One. Add the choice of subject area and university into the mix and you’ll find a match that’s compatible.
