MPhils or Masters by Research in Germany in a mathematical subject I was wondering whether there are Masters by Research or MPhils in Germany in a mathematical subject? I have been advised to look at the 3 Berlin universities (TU, HU, FU) but have only found PhD's and MSc's. What is the equivalent of a research masters in Germany? Thanks!
Most master’s degrees in Germany require a thesis in some form, usually comprising the final semester of studies. However, because of the Bologna process, there are unlikely to be “pure research” programs.
