Each unit has different credits...And the dissertation is only 21 credits out of 120, equivalent to 17.5%.
In the website, the university only mentioned that this program should boost professional profiles and "The strong background in economics and finance provided by this Master programme will further ease the preparation to the admission procedures to several international PhD programs in the areas of Finance and Economics for those students wishing to continue their career in the academic field."

Thank you so much Pjlu, I am in the process of working with the Embassy for this course but not sure that I will get the scholarship or not. I really want to do a PhD in my life so I will keep on going but I need a wiser choice. Do you think some master by research in Australia, or Mres, MPhil are better than this? Now I only want some master to improve my chance to be accepted by a PhD programs. Once again, thanks for your help!

Hi guys,
I am a student from Vietnam. I have a Master of Art at a University in Italy, where I graduated in 2015...After studying this master, I found my interest in doing research. I applied for many universities for PhD (count like more or less 15 unis). In 2015, I was rejected by 4 unis, in 2016 by 4 unis, one uni put me in a waiting list (they got 3 candidates but I was ranked 4), in 2017 this time I was rejected by 7 unis, there is one uni in Spain offering a slot in their PhD but without scholarship. Finally, I found a very big problem in my application is that:
- my master degree is not an academic master, it is a professional master so there is one of the reasons why I was declined.

So I am thinking of taking another master, I got the admission by a MSc program, but I am not sure it will help me or not. I think that maybe a Mres or MPhil could be better? Or maybe I will apply for the Phd in the US where students may not need the master to enter the PhD.

I am not quite sure at the moment. I feel that I am willing to give up just because I am going to be 28 in October and I am an Asian girl, people push me a lot on marriage.It is quite pressure and I really want to have a generous scholarship to finance my study in case I will study further. The MSc I mentioned above may provide me 6000 euro per year plus tuition fee and one more thing, it does not contain many research components, just coursework. So could you please give me some ideas?
