Question: Do you have a masters degree in science or any other degree for that matter if so how hard is it to get one. Because in the future i would be interested in trying to get one.
I have a Masters degree by research, but I did this in Australia. I don’t really know the UK system, except that it takes a lot less time here to get the same degree! After my Masters, I did a PhD. Both degrees are hard. The Masters degree tends to be ‘technology’ or ‘techniques’ based, while the PhD degree is a bit more philosophical. Some Masters degree are research degrees, but others are course-work based.
Hi,
I am currently completing my Masters’ in Global Health a.k.a Public Health specialising in non-communicable disease at the University of Edinburgh. I study part time, whilst working full-time. So it is very hard as the last thing you want to do when you get home after work is to study. This is all by coursework, and no exams. Which is even better than an undergraduate degree in my opinion.
It is hard but at Master’s level, they trust you more and treat you like a professional, although you are a student, it is more independent and self-motivated learning. Your tutors will support you, and are always willing to answer every silly question you have..
I would say go for it, if that is what you really want to do:-). But be careful which university you choose to do your Master’s in as not all the Master’s courses are of high quality.
I don’t have a masters degree, I only have a bachelors degree (BSc) with honours. I’m studying for my PhD now so I will eventually be a doctor. A lot of people study for a masters degree before their PhD but I skipped that step out!
I have an undergraduate (Bachelors) in veterinary science, and I have a postgraduate (PhD) in neuroscience. It’s not too hard to get a bachelors, you can do it! 🙂 Just work hard in your science subjects! You’ll get there!! Good luck!!!!
