Master (diploma or university degree)

The term master means " maître" in English. Because of the influence of English in higher education, a certain number of countries not-english-speaking introduced into their language the word " master" or " master' S degree" to re-elect ranks or diplomas preexistent or to name new diplomas. This was done sometimes by preserving the " term; maîtrise" like heading of other diplomas. Can thus coexist, such as for example in France, a diploma called " master" and a diploma called " maîtrise". Ranks or diplomas whose name is a translation of " maître" or " maîtrise" are treated in the article Maîtrise.
