length of time. Interestingly, there are other types of master' degrees.
In the United Kingdom, for example, a master's degree is sometimes given to an undergraduate student who has a final year that includes courses of grater difficulty, such as those in postgraduate or graduate programs. Sometimes a master's degree is awarded to undergraduate students who participate in higher-level classes and complete a major research project.
For graduates with a degree of Master of Arts in the United Kingdom, some universities such as Cambridge, Trinity College and Oxford award the master's degree solely on the basis of outstanding academic performance and standing.
In the older Scottish universities, what are known as 'ancient universities of Scotland', undergraduates are awarded a Master of Arts degree for completing the normal undergraduate program that consists of four years of study in either Humanities, Arts or Social Sciences.
More recently there is a standardized European system for secondary education diplomas regarding master's degrees. In this system, a master's degree program is a two-year degree program that is entered after completion of a three year undergraduate program in order to attain better qualification for employment or as preparation for a doctoral degree.
There is an excellent entry in the Wikipedia.org website that covers many aspects of master's degrees and how this type of degree varies from country to country. To find out more about the various types of masters degrees that are available in different parts of the world, visit the masters degree Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_degree.
