The Master of Studies or Master in Studies (M.St. or MSt; )
is a postgraduate degree at the
University of Oxford,
University of Cambridge,
University of St Andrews, the
Australian National University,
University of Dublin
The University of Dublin ( ga, Ollscoil Átha Cliath), corporately designated the Chancellor, Doctors and Masters of the University of Dublin, is a university located in Dublin, Ireland. It is the degree-awarding body for Trinity College Dubl ...
and the
University of Newcastle (Australia). Depending on the degree, it is comparable to the
Master of Arts,
Master of Business Administration,
Master of Laws,
Master of Philosophy, and
Master of Science.
Its creation was necessitated, in part, by the fact that the
Master of Arts degree at Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin is automatically awarded to graduates after a certain period of time. In contrast, the Master of Studies requires completion of classroom study and a
thesis.
