偶今年已经决定从了RUG的research master in Economics and Business 一直觉得Mphil 比MS含金量高点，看到这新闻很是郁闷马上给coordinator 写信，偶把回信贴出来，供后来人参考
In Groningen, we never conferred the title MPhil to our graduates,
because we knew the title was not legal. Hence, our graduates have
always obtained the MSc title. However, our degree certificates go with
a document telling that the contents of our programme are similar to
those of other programmes offering the MPhil title. Until now, not a
single graduate of ours has had difficulties obtaining a PhD position
due to the fact that our programme leads to an MSc: potential employers
look at the contents of programmes, not at formalities! Hence, although
I fully understand your confusion, there is nothing to worry about! |
