In our PhD programme, you do not get a Master's degree en route to the PhD. Our Master's programmes will also not lead you directly into our PhD programme. If you are interested to do a Master's degree with us, please check out our graduate website http://www.nbs.ntu.edu.sg/Programmes/index.asp for more information. Direct your inquiries to the appropriate programme office.

No. We only admit students as Master's students, even if their end goal is a Ph.D. If you hold a Master's degree (geography or other), you can apply for the Ph.D. program.

No. We may however suggest to some applicants that they study for a Master's degree before coming to do a PhD, if we consider that additional preparation is necessary. Also, some funding sources (for instance, the Neuroinformatics DTC) provide four years of funding covering an MSc followed by a PhD.

This will depend on your background. If you already hold a recognised Master's qualification, then registration for MPhil/PhD may be possible. Some students are required to take a specialist Master's, or register through our 'new route' PhD, which will involve registration for an appropriate MRes programme.

No. You must have successfully completed a Bachelor's degree program (or the equivalent) by the Fall of the year you are wishing to enter the graduate program in order to apply for that semester.

No, an M.A. degree is not required. Most students apply directly to a doctoral program. But see the question above, "What job opportunities are available with an M.A.?" Yes. However, the admissions committee will expect that you have had an introductory course in psychology, a course in statistics, and a course in research methods (or similar courses).

Yes, students in the direct Ph.D. program do essentially the same coursework as the students in the graduate program (that leads to the S.M. degree) but are given a lighter coursework load during the first year in order to be able to spend more time starting their research work. In addition to that, they do a research methodology course, where they are exposed to different research areas and to the research interests of the faculty.

A majority of the departments require that an applicant obtain the master’s degree before applying for the doctoral program. In only a very few rare cases (reviewed on a case-by-case basis) is this possible.

No; the only degree requirement is the bachelor's degree. If your degree was received outside of the United States, we recommend you contact the Office of Graduate Admissions to confirm its equivalency to U.S. standards. They may be reached at: 858-534-3555 or gradadmissions@ucsd.edu.

The majority of Ph.D. students have Master’s Degrees, but it is possible to be admitted to the Ph.D. program directly from undergraduate studies. The course of study in such instances typically entails approximately one extra year. The Ph.D. degree is not intended for clinical training, however. Individuals wanting to become clinically-certified, should apply to the master’s program.

While most students enter doctoral programs directly from undergraduate studies, it is not uncommon for students first to obtain a master's degree in their discipline. Some doctoral programs prefer students without previous graduate study, but others, such as Clinical Psychology, may prefer their students to have either a master's degree or a substantial number of graduate credits in the field. It is best to check with each school to which you are applying for their policy and advice.

Students with a master's degree in business or Psychology may transfer up to 30 graduate-level credits from a regionally accredited institution. Courses must have been taken within the last 5 years and be equivalent to courses taught within the Organizational Psychology program. Decisions are made on a course-by-course basis after admission to the program. For detailed information regarding transfer policies, visit our website.

A terminal masters degree (in which an M.A. or M.S. is the end result of training) used to be quite common in psychology and is still the norm in Canada, but increasingly, the trend in the United States has been for students to go directly from a bachelors degree to a doctorate. In social psychology, for example, masters degrees are far less common than PhDs.

You must check with the particular university to find out if they would accept your offshore psychology degree. Individual private sector employers in Singapore decide if they would recognize the offshore psychology qualifications. You must check with the individual employers. You must check with the particular government ministry or agency. Government ministries and agencies have their own criteria for evaluating offshore psychology qualifications.

The Graduate School awards terminal master’s degrees in clinical research, computer science, educational studies, film studies, Jewish studies, and music. All other programs are Ph.D. programs and do not admit students for terminal master's work.

FYI: Our PhD candidates earn a Master of Science degree in Public Policy after successful completion of core coursework and the comprehensive examinations. When are applications due? If I meet the required deadlines, when can I expect to receive a decision? Applications are due January 15 for the following fall semester. Please note that a new policy now requires that applicants submit their entire application complete in one mailing to the Office of Graduate Admissions by the date noted above.

Yes, applicants have to be enrolled in a degree programme in a graduate school (second university or higher) at the time of application and during the internship.

Ideally, both the thesis and non-thesis master's degree program should be completed in 2 years by students who enroll in 9 credit hours (3 courses) each fall and spring semester. The Ph.D. program has the same enrollment requirements as for masters students and typically requires 3 to 5 years provided that significant progress is made on the dissertation research topic.

A:Yes. While the PMDP is geared towards industry, it is still applicable to academia, because it is, after all, a Master's of Science. So it is still possible for you to continue on for your PhD after upon completion of the PMDP.

No, we will not admit an applicant who already holds a PhD degree (even if it is in a different area such as Physics or Math). No. If you have started a master's or doctoral program at another university, you cannot transfer classes or research credit with the intention of completing that degree at MIT.

Students wishing to apply for the Master programme must obtain and submit an application form. The application form on this site must be submitted with all necessary documents. The application form can be downloaded from our web site.

ESI handles these requests on a case-by-case basis. Although you may not apply courses toward two Certificates, it may be possible to transfer some courses from one Certificate programme to another.
