Master of Education degrees are similar to MA, MS and MSc where the subject studied is education.
The awards for these are named after the subject, so a course in mathematics would earn a Master of Mathematics degree, abbreviated to MMath), or have a general title such as MSci (Master in Science at most universities but Master of Natural Sciences at Cambridge).
(MSc, MA) These can either be "taught" degrees, involving lectures, examination and a short dissertation, or "research" degrees (though the latter have largely been replaced by MPhil and MRes programmes, see below).
MA, MS, MSc, MSE, AM, SM The Master of Arts (Magister Artium) and Master of Science (Magister ScientiƦ) degrees are the basic type in most subjects and may be entirely course-based, entirely research-based or (more typically) a mixture.
In content the first three years are generally identical to those of the equivalent bachelor's degree while the fourth year is a combination of higher-level taught courses and a research project.
Some universities also offer a Masters by Learning Contract scheme, where a candidate can specify his or her own learning objectives; these are submitted to supervising academics for approval, and are assessed by means of written reports, practical demonstrations and presentations.
