A research Master’s programme is more focussed on research, and as such offers a thorough preparation for students who wish to pursue a career that is specifically targeted at research. Talented students completing a one-year Master’s programme may however also opt for a career in research. A research Master’s is just a more solid and thorough preparation, starting at an earlier stage. A Master’s programme is designed so it can be completed within one year. A research Master’s takes at least 2 years to complete and selection is highly competitive (the specific requirements and needed documents are described here and on the information & instruction sheet that comes along with the application form.
