MSc Vs MA

P

Hi, am wondering if i should study an MSc (bio-science) or MA (development). My background is in agriculture. Ultimate plan is to progress to PhD. How easy is it to get PhD studentship with either qualification for an international student like me? Got scholarship for the 2 masters, now have to make a choice. I need something that will give me enough options to choose from. I need your advise. Regards.

MA and MSc are both equally valid routes to a PhD so that's not an issue. You need to weigh up the content that's going to be covered in the two courses and think about the skills you'll develop and then think about which of the two provides most of what you need/ will find useful in future work. Also think about which subject interests you more. Imagine you only have funding for one. Which could you not live without? That'll be the one for you.
