Master's Degrees and doctoral studies are the highest level university qualification. Therefore our UVic Master's Degree courses and doctoral studies are closely linked to the research activities of our teaching departments and research groups.

Master's Degree courses include theoretical and practical components and conclude with a final year project. They last one or two academic years, depending on the number of credits involved.

The University began adapting our doctoral studies to the European Higher Education Area guidelines in the academic year 2009 - 2010.

This transformation affects not only entrance requirements but also how training is carried out. In line with these changes, Master's Degree courses and doctoral studies are closely linked to research carried under the supervision of university departments and research groups.

Doctoral studies lead to the highest university qualification. To obtain a Ph.D. you need to complete a training period (Mester's Degree) and a doctoral thesis. The combined activities of training and research constitute the doctoral studies.
