==Bangladesh==
All [[Bangladeshis|Bangladeshi]] private and public universities have Master of Science courses as postgraduate degree. These include most of the major [[State ownership|state-owned]] colleges. A number of private colleges also do offer MS degrees. After passing [[Bachelor of Science]], any student becomes eligible to study in this discipline.

Commonly the Chilean universities have used "Magíster" for a [[master's degree]], but other than that is similar to the rest of South America.
==Cyprus
Like all EU member states, the Republic of Cyprus follow the Bologna Process. Universities in Cyprus have used either "Magíster Scientiae or Artium" or Master of Arts/Science for a master's degree with 90 to 120 ECTS and duration of studies between 1, 2 and 5 years.

In Slavic countries in European southeast (particularly former [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavian]] republics), the education system was largely based on the German university system (largely due to the presence and influence of the [[Austria-Hungary Empire]]<ref name=":0" /> in the region). Prior to the implementation of the [[Bologna Process]], academic university studies comprised a 4–5 year-long graduate ''[[diplom]]'' program, which could have been followed by a 2–4 year long ''[[Magister (degree)|magistar]]'' program and then later with 2–5 year long [[Doctor of Science|doctor of science]] program.
After the Bologna Process implementation, again based on the German implementation, ''Diplom'' titles and programs were replaced by entirely [[Professional degree|professional]] bachelor's and master's programs. The studies are structured such that a ''master'' program lasts long enough for the student to accumulate a total of

Norway follows the Bologna Process. For engineering, the Master of Science academic degree has been recently introduced and has replaced the previous award forms "[[Sivilingeniør]]" (engineer, a.k.a. engineering master) and "Hovedfag" (academic master). Both were awarded after 5 years of university-level studies and required the completion of a scientific thesis.
"Siv.ing", is a protected title exclusively awarded to engineering students who completed a five-year education at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology ({{
Master of Science in Business is the English title for those taking a higher business degree, "Siviløkonom" in Norwegian. In addition, there is, for example, the 'Master of Business Administration' (MBA), a practically oriented master's degree in business, but with less mathematics and econometrics, due to its less specific entry requirements and smaller focus on research.
