Master of ArtsLe Master of Arts est un grade universitaire existant dans de nombreux domaines de tradition universitaire anglo-saxonne. Le titulaire d'une Master of Arts porte le titre de maitre (abrégé MA, on peut également trouver l'abréviation AM qui vient de l'expression latine Magister Artium). Ce Master existe dans les domaines tels que les matières relevant des humanités et des sciences sociales, l'histoire, la littérature, les langues, la linguistique, administration publique, science politique, communication, droit ou diplomatie ; cependant, différentes universités ont des conventions différentes et peuvent également offrir le diplôme pour des domaines généralement considérés dans les sciences naturelles et les mathématiques.
Bachelor of EngineeringA Bachelor of Engineering (BE or BEngg) or a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc (Engg) or BSE) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded to a student after three to five years of studying engineering at an accredited college or university. In the United Kingdom, a Bachelor of Engineering degree will be accredited by one of the Engineering Council's professional engineering institutions as suitable for registration as an incorporated engineer or chartered engineer with further study to masters level.
Master of EngineeringA Master of Engineering (abbreviated MEng, ME, M.E. or M.Eng.) is a professional master's degree in the field of engineering. In Australia, the Master of Engineering degree is a research degree requiring completion of a thesis. Like the Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.), it is considered a lesser degree than Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). It is not to be confused with Master of Engineering Science, Master of Engineering Studies or Master of Professional Engineering which are coursework master's degrees.
Regulation and licensure in engineeringRegulation and licensure in engineering is established by various jurisdictions of the world to encourage life, public welfare, safety, well-being, then environment and other interests of the general public and to define the licensure process through which an engineer becomes licensed to practice engineering and to provide professional services and products to the public. As with many other professions and activities, engineering is often a restricted activity.
Doctor of EngineeringThe Doctor of Engineering (or engineering doctorate) (abbreviated DEng or EngD) is a professional degree awarded in engineering and applied science. An EngD is a terminal degree similar to a PhD in engineering but applicable more in industry rather than in academia. The degree is usually aimed toward working professionals. The DEng/EngD along with the PhD represents the highest academic qualification in engineering, and the successful completion of either in engineering is generally required to gain employment as a full-time, tenure-track university professor or postdoctoral researcher in the field.
Engineering technologistAn engineering technologist is a professional trained in certain aspects of development and implementation of a respective area of technology. An education in engineering technology concentrates more on application and less on theory than does an engineering education. Engineering technologists often assist engineers; but after years of experience, they can also become engineers. Like engineers, areas where engineering technologists can work include product design, fabrication, and testing.
Undergraduate degreeAn undergraduate degree (also called first degree or simply degree) is a colloquial term for an academic degree earned by a person who has completed undergraduate courses. In the United States, it is usually offered at an institution of higher education, such as a college or university. The most common type of these undergraduate degrees are associate degree and bachelor's degree. Bachelor's degree typically takes at least three or four years to complete.
Magistère (diplôme)Le magistère est un diplôme universitaire français créé en 1985, préparé en trois ans après deux premières années d'études supérieures validées. Remplacé partiellement par le diplôme national de master (dont il peut constituer un parcours) au moment de la réforme LMD en 2002, il continue d'être proposé par de nombreuses institutions en double cursus - universités et écoles normale supérieures - sous la forme de cours de haut niveau complémentaires au cursus de troisième année de licence et de master.
ThèseUne thèse (du nom grec thesis, se traduisant par « action de poser ») est une affirmation ou prise de position d'un locuteur, à l'égard du sujet ou du thème qu'il évoque. En philosophie et rhétorique, une thèse est une affirmation, qui peut se résumer en une simple phrase, mais est généralement soutenue par un ensemble organisé d'hypothèses, d'arguments et de conclusions. Il s'agit donc de la position d'un auteur, d’une école, d’une doctrine ou d’un mouvement sur un sujet donné.
DiplomLe terme Diplom (du grec Δίπλωμα ou diploma) désigne un diplôme universitaire scientifique allemand et autrichien de deuxième cycle, comparable au master européen ou nord-américain et qui sanctionne les trois à cinq premières années universitaires. Il a été remplacé par le Bachelor (Licence) et le Master au cours du processus de Bologne. Toutefois, l'Allemagne ayant choisi de laisser une certaine liberté aux universités quant à la date du passage au système de Bologne, le Diplom est toujours délivré dans certaines universités.
