<p>As you all know, in the U.K. they offer Master of engineering course which is an integrated 4 years course in which a student can be admitted after completing high school. Whereas in USA/ Canada first you have to finish a 4-5 years bachelor's degree and then a master's degree.</p>
<p>My question is -</p>
<p>Is the Master's degree in 4 years from U.K. of equal worth in comparison to getting master's degree after 6 years?</p>
<p>
I’m pretty sure that if they could teach 6 years of engineering in just 4 in the U.K., they’d be doing it in the U.S. </p>
<p>What is sounds like is the Master of Engineering program you’re looking at would likely be an extremely applied, practical degree. Many engineering schools in the U.S. have Master of Science Degrees and then Master of Engineering Degrees after one earns his or her Bachelor of Science Degree or Bachelor of Science in Engineering Degree. </p>
<p>ME programs here are purely practical, non-thesis, and applied. MS programs include research and a thesis. As a result, ME-graduates are more limited in what jobs they can get.</p>
<p>Since you’re from the U.K., talk to engineers there and do your research. Another consideration is whether you’ll be living and engineering in the States or in the U.K.</p>
<p>As far as i know …most engineering courses in most universities in the U.K. are four years and they give a Meng degree. There are no other types of course…if one just wants to do bachelor’s then he does it in 3 years in the U.K…</p>
