I realize most of the undergraduate students, including me, know only a little surface of how a coursework-based master looks like. I guess we would like to know the system on how this academia is working, especially for the research projects we are about to conducting soon after we studied (for few semesters I guess). How are we supposed to conduct the research projects and usually when shall we begin? What are the significant differences between a research project and the research conducted by research-based master? <br /><br />Anyone here, especially those who are experienced please share your experience here with us. Thank you. Riena_988 PhD School Mon, 07 Jul 2014 08:14:05 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3202347 Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. Recently, I have tried to do some finding on the difference between master (engineering) in coursework based and research based because I am facing difficulties to choose between them as my future path. <br /> Research based sounds quite risky for me because I am new to that Uni. Unknown to the characteristics of all lecturers is what I am fear most (especially facing uncooperative relation with supervisor). Secondly, research management probably is another issue I have to deal with. However, it will provide me a stronger research foundation for PhD in my future. <br /> Coursework based sounds a safer route to me. However there is a question lies to me. Is it true that a coursework based master graduate (engineering) can apply for PhD programme? If it is true, the only con for coursework based master would be a tougher start for PhD programme in future, right? <br /> <br /> Riena_988 PhD School Wed, 23 Apr 2014 00:28:15 +0800
