Can you take 2 Masters at the same time Philippines?

A common course work may be applied for the two master’s degrees, but only up to 20\% of the required coursework for both degrees may be credited. This overlapping or common course work reduces the time to complete both degrees if taken as regular programs.

Are two Masters degrees equivalent to a Phd?

If you have two master’s degrees, or three, or four, you’ve achieved the Master’s level. If you have one doctorate, you’ve achieved the doctoral level. A second (or higher) master’s keeps you at the master’s level. It can give you greater breadth, but that’s not the same as greater depth.

Can you have two master’s degrees in two fields?

Specialization in two fields opens up greater job opportunities. When you have two master’s degrees in entirely different areas, you can apply to positions in either of the two fields, giving you a better chance at landing a job.

PhDs, however, are designed to be independent research endeavours, with limited guidance from professors and departments, aiming to verify the answer to a specific question. So, you should choose a second Master’s if you want to know a bit of everything, and a PhD if you want to be an expert in your field.

Is it possible to have two degrees at the same time?

What can you do with a master’s degree?
