Master of Advanced Studies

The University of Warwick has approved the introduction of a Master of Advanced Study (MASt) degree in Mathematics for the 2013/2014 year.

[8][9] In the United States, the Master of Advanced Study or the Master of Advanced Studies[10] degree is a post-graduate professional degree issued by numerous academic institutions, but most notably by the University of California.

programs tend to "concentrate on a set of coordinated coursework with culminating projects or papers rather than emphasizing student research" and frequently are structured as interdisciplinary offerings.

It confers a higher qualification credential than a Master of Philosophy or Master of Studies but lower than old doctorate prior to European Higher Education Area (EHEA), however equivalent to new (EHEA) doctoral degree.

Students of the College of Europe (an independent university institute of postgraduate European studies with its campuses in Bruges (Belgium) and Natolin (Poland) receive an advanced master's degree (formerly called Diploma and Certificat) following a one-year intense programme.

The one-year study programme at the College of Europe leads to an accredited degree of 66 ECTS.
