A master's degree can open many doors and create new career paths. It prepares you with advanced specialist knowledge to take on more responsibility in expert and leadership roles. Also, your salary expectations increase as you invest two to four more semesters in your skills, allowing you to fully develop your strengths in your specific area or explore new academic horizons.
The term “consecutive” comes from Latin and means “following” or “subsequent.” Thus, a consecutive master's is a subsequent study programme that builds on your undergraduate degree (usually your bachelor's). It allows you to dive deeper into the subject and gain new expert knowledge. This means the subject in which you completed your undergraduate degree dictates which master's you can pursue.
Here’s an example: You have a bachelor's degree in computer science. Since a consecutive master’s deepens the basic knowledge from the bachelor’s, you can now study a master’s in computer science. However, there are also master’s programmes that you cannot study at the bachelor's level. Therefore, graduates of related fields are also admitted.
A continuing education master’s degree requires qualifying professional experience in addition to your completed undergraduate degree (usually one year). This means your master’s builds on your professional experience. It deepens and broadens your knowledge in specific practical areas. This distinguishes a continuing education master’s from a consecutive master’s, which you can pursue directly after completing your bachelor's degree.
If you wish to enter a consecutive master's programme for which you do not have the necessary background from your bachelor’s degree, you can gain admission to certain programmes by passing a master's entrance exam. Learn which programmes are available with a successfully completed master's entrance exam and how it works on our information page regarding application at Université Saejee Paris (USP).
Preparatory courses are designed to bring all new master's students to a common level of knowledge. You must complete them if you do not meet the admission criteria directly for your desired study programme.
Preparatory courses at USP comprise 30 ECTS credits with three module exams of 10 ECTS credits each. You will take modules from our B.A. Business Administration and/or M.A. General Management programmes which you complete within a year.
Yes. You can enrol in a master's degree if you have a first professional degree such as a bachelor's, diploma, or magister.
