Why do a research master’s degree in North America (USA/Canada): 1. Many students do a masters in the UK and then want to do a phD in North America. That is a much more difficult path to follow because European master’s degrees are often only 1 year and ha be a different grading system. So, these students are less likely to get accepted than someone who did the master’s in USA/Canada.
2. By doing a 2-year master’s in science that is thesis based, you get the opportunity to do almost 2 full years of research with minimal courses. This greatly boosts your lab research experience and you resume. You can list all the different techniques you learn over two years! European masters degrees which are 1-year often only have 3 months of laboratory experience which may not be enough.
3. Research Grants! North American masters degrees with a thesis components allow a student as well as the research lab a lot more funding for conducting two years of research at the graduate level. Allost all students who receive admission and are able to get supervisor approval, get guaranteed funding of nearly $20,000/year for two years. Both international and local students get this.
4. Pathway to graduating, getting a work permit and finally becoming a PR and then a citizen is faster in countries like Canada.
