What is the difference between an MPhil and an MSC?
The most notable difference between an Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree and a Master of Science (MSc) degree is the depth of the independent research project and the career path of a student. An MPhil is more suited for candidates aiming to advance their careers in research or academia as emphasis is placed on the individual research project. An MSc is traditionally a coursework degree which provides a comprehensive education in a specific subject with less emphasis on independent research.
