Think i gonna explain again......about master coursework: totally learn for master degree by taking various courses, or spend a substantial amount of time on learning plus a small project. normal duration: 1yr, 1.5yr, (parttime 3yr) reserch master: most time you will be carrrying on your own reaserch work under supervision of one/two staff. you still need to take some "enrichment" subjects , usually 4 suject in total. normal duration : 1-2yr --------------------------------------------------- as for admission&scholarship: what i know from many staff of CE/EEE, NTU coursework: most coursework dun hv scholarship for international students except PMP(postgrad manpower program) it is 1 yr M.Sc program. Reserch: Almost impossible to get a scholarship now if you only apply to a project leading to master degree. and if you decide apply for Ph.D first then later down-grade to master, then you will only receive scholarship for 1st year. the 2nd yr master study is on your own. ------------------------- (more...)
