these universities, a large number of programs are offered to the
students, one such program is that of a Masters in Science.
What
is a Masters of Science program?
A
form of a Master’s degree, it is awarded by a university upon
fulfillment of a one to two year degree program. One of the many
types of a Master’s program, a Master of Science programme pivots
on a curriculum related to areas such as those of Engineering,
Mathematics,
Medicine,
or Technology.
There are various kinds of specialisations
in a Masters of Science program, some of which include Finance,
Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Supply Chain Management. A Bachelor’s
degree is a prerequisite but not all universities require the same.

general
notion to pursue a Master’s in an earlier field of study because it
helps you build up on the prior knowledge attained.
