Types of Master's Degrees to Study in Australia

The type of master's degree you pursue depends purely on your undergraduate degree and your major field of study. The two main types of master's degrees are taught programs and research programs.

  • Taught master's degree - will have a course module that covers the entire course through seminars, lectures, and practical knowledge.

Doing a master's through distance education also comes under the taught category.

  • Research-based master's degree - is when the students would carry out their own research in their field of choice, with the course duration being longer than it is for taught courses.

You will not be following any set timetable. Instead, you will be working on one or more individual projects for which you will be receiving the required support from a supervisor until the completion of your project.

One can also take up a master's degree based on specialisation or coursework.

Here are some of the most popular master's degrees in Australia. 

Master of Arts (MA) - This category of master's is usually done by students who seek specialisations in subjects like arts, social science, communications, language, linguistics, history, and literature.

Master of Science (MS) - This master's degree is a specialisation program for the main science-stream subjects such as biology, chemistry, engineering, and statistics.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - MBA is a popular master's degree program opted by plenty of students from across the world. It concentrates on providing students with the necessary training to improve their management skills. You can take up an MBA irrespective of what your undergraduate major is, but having a business administration background would be an advantage.
