| Dec 19, 2017 at 19:10 | comment | added | Christian Clason | An MSc is an integrated research master (i.e., completed by writing a Masters thesis) in Germany. Although the alternative (a non-thesis Master) is possible by law, to the best of my knowledge this isn't offered by any university in Germany (technical or otherwise; note that universities of applied science (Fachhochschulen) are different). The possibility of a third-stage thesis-only Masters is not provided for under the German system. | |

| Dec 19, 2017 at 15:56 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | I don't think the distinction between MPhil and MSc is that well established in Germany (the Master title is pretty new there). So you need to look at the content of the program rather than the title to find out whether it is research focused or not. | |
| Dec 19, 2017 at 15:18 | comment | added | Spiny | Are you quite sure that these MSc degrees you found are not research based? That does not agree with my experience of Masters-level degrees in Germany. Some links to the information you found could be helpful. | |
