Canada
In Canada, Master of Science (MSc) degrees may be entirely course-based, entirely research-based or (more typically) a mixture. Master's programs typically take one to three years to complete and the completion of a scientific thesis is often required. Admission to a master's program is contingent upon holding a four year university bachelor's degree. Some universities require a masters degree in order to progress to a doctoral program (PhD).
