Master of Research

University-Collage study program
In the United Kingdom , the Master of Research degree is a postgraduate degree available in a range of academic disciplines. The MRes is designed to prepare students for doctoral research MRes can also stand for Master's by Research, or Master's in Research
Many MRes courses are advanced postgraduate degrees which differ from taught Masters degrees by placing particular emphasis on a large dissertation (typically between 35-40,000 words) in addition to fewer taught modules.
In addition to specified MRes courses, at some universities an MRes may be awarded to a student who begins an Engineering Doctorate but chooses not to complete the full period of study for the Engineering Doctorate, typically four years or more, but has completed a sufficient dissertation and taught content to be acceptable for the MRes, typically after completion of a "mini-thesis" after 2 years or more of study. In this usage, the MRes is similar to an MPhil, obtained when a student chooses not to complete the full period of study for a PhD.

Program Master of Pharmacy

University-Collage study/Schools program
Master of Pharmacy iIn the United Kingdom (UK), MPharm or MPharm(Hons) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded following four years academic study in pharmacy. The degree is awarded by all of the schools of pharmacy in the UK and superseded the BSc (Pharmacy) and BPharm degrees when the length of the undergraduate pharmacy course was increased from three to four years in 1997 as part of EU harmonisation. The initial 3 years of the degree are taught at undergraduate level (failure to complete the 3rd year with satisfactory marks can result in the awarding of a BPharmSci (Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science) degree) and the final year is taught at postgraduate level in order to attain a Masters degree.
The MPharm is the only qualification in the UK which leads to professional registration as a pharmacist. MPharm programs are accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) in England, Scotland and Wales and jointly by the RPSGB and Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland in Northern Ireland.
Aspiring pharmacists in the UK qualify by first completing this degree, then undertaking a year of pre-registration training. On successful completion of this training they become registered pharmacists and members of the relevant pharmaceutical society, and can use the postnominal letters MRPharmS (Member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain) or MPSNI (Member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland).

Master of Mathematics

University College Programs
Master of Mathematics in the UK, the MMath is an undergraduate award, available after pursuing a four year course of study at a university. It is classed as a level 7 qualification in the National Qualifications Framework. The UCAS course codes for the MMath degrees are start at G100 upwards, most courses taking the codes G101 - G104.

The Master of Laws

Master of Laws is an advanced academic degree, or research degree, and is commonly abbreviated LL.M. (also LLM or LL.M)The LL.M. degree is a course of specialized research pursued after earning a first degree in law (such as a LL.B., B.C.L. or J.D.).
In the United Kingdom, an LLM programme is open to those holding a recognised legal qualification, generally an undergraduate degree in Laws or a CPE. They do not have to be or intend to be legal practitioners. An LLM is not always a sufficient qualification in itself to practice as a solicitor or barrister but is an opportunity to gain specialist knowledge of a particular area of law and/or an understanding of the legal systems of other nations. As with other degrees, an LLM can be studied on a part-time basis at many institutions and in some circumstances by distance learning.
Some institutions allow those without legal qualifications onto their LLM programme although there are still minimum educational requirements, such as an undergraduate degree, or evidence of substantial professional experience in a related field. Examples of such institutions include the University of London External System which has been offering LLM studies to both LLB and non-law graduates since 1925 , the University of Edinburgh (LLM degree by distance learning) and the University of Leicester . In addition, Queen's University offers an LLM suite, accessible to legal and social science graduates, leading to specialisms in sustainable development, corporate governance, devolution or human rights.

Master of Enterprise (M.Ent.)

Master of Enterprise (M.Ent.) Degree is a masters degree originally developed and offered by the University of Manchester England through the Manchester Science Enterprise Centre (MSEC). A number of other universities have included the MEnt in their curriculum.
The MEnt aims to stimulate enterprise combined with a number of other disciplines originally Environmental Innovation (science), Computers, and Textiles but has gone on to include an ever increasing number of subjects.
Each student gains half the degree through business enterprise modules and half through modules issued by their home department. The student, although based at MSEC through the majority of the course actually graduates from their chosen home department.
The programme is multi-disciplinary and owned by the collaborating school or department. It is modular in content (two units per semester) with a one-year long enterprise project, comprising both the subject and enterprise exploitation elements.
The programme brings together three elements:
To extend the candidate's understanding and knowledge in his/her chosen field of entrepreneurial endeavour.
To impart business, management and enterprise skills and understanding of the business processes applicable to the development of knowledge based enterprises.
To expose candidates to the processes involved in starting up and running a business.

Master of Engineering

Master of Engineering In UK
A Master of Engineering often abbreviated M.Eng (or MEng), can be either an academic or professional master's degree in the field of engineering.
United Kingdom, the M.Eng is an undergraduate award, available after pursuing a four or five year course of study. These are taught courses, with only a small research element in the third and/or final year, and are not available as postgraduate qualifications in most cases. Most British universities offer both the traditional three or four year courses in engineering, leading to a B.Sc. or B.Eng, and a M.Eng respectively.
Some universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge, offer only the four year M.Eng, although even these make provision for leaving at the end of the third year. For those who leave after three years or fail the fourth year, a B.A. is awarded.
The Engineering Council Postgraduate Diploma is set at the final year of a British MEng.
structure In terms of course structure, M.Eng degrees usually follow the pattern familiar from bachelor's degrees with lectures, laboratory work, coursework and exams each year. There is usually a substantial project to be completed in the fourth year which may have a research element to it, and a more teaching-based project to be completed in the third year. At the end of the third year, there is usually a threshold of academic performance in examinations to allow progression to the final year.
At some universities, the structure of the final year is rather different from that of the first three, for example, at the University of York, the final year for the Computer Systems and Software program consists entirely of project work and intensive advanced seminar courses rather than traditional lectures and problem classes. Final results are, in most cases, awarded on the standard British undergraduate degree classification scale, although some universities award something structurally similar to 'Distinction', 'Merit', 'Pass' or 'Fail' as this is often the way that taught postgraduate master's degrees are classified
Other undergraduate masters The M.Eng is one of a number of 'new' undergraduate masters' degrees recently introduced in the UK; they are also commonly available in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
