Master's programs have a conditional division.
- A master's program based on a curriculum assumes in-depth mastering of educational material in a specific specialty for a period of study up to one and a half years.
- A research master's degree involves taking a theoretical course and writing a research paper. In this case, a scientific advisor is assigned to the student. Students choose the topic of scientific work, coordinating it with the supervisor. Sometimes you need to decide on the topic when you enter the magistracy and find yourself a leader in advance. This program lasts 2 years.
- There is also an academic stage - the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), which is completely devoted to scientific research and the defense of a dissertation with the assignment of the corresponding title. Training lasts 2-4 years, but research may take an additional time period.
Master's programs in Canada include a research component, so they are more suitable for those who want to connect their lives with scientific activities in the future.
