diploma, MSc, LLM, MBA and PhD
- Thread starter tdolittle
- Start date
Msc = Master of Science
MBA = Master of Business Administration
LLM = Masters of Law
PhD = Doctor of Philosophy
All three of these are typically obtained after completing a Bachelor's degree in Art or Science, B.A or B.S., respectively, and the PhD follows the Master's degree
So, a typical progression in the US would be as follows:
B.S => M.S. (M.Sc.) => PhD
B.A(S). => MBA
B.A(S). => LLM
I say "typically," because in some instances, some degrees may be waived or incorporated into a higher degree... for example,
B.S. => PhD
Hope that helps!

This is incorrect in the US, where the LLM is a (post-)graduate degree that follows the initial degree in law. In the US, the initial degree is now the JD (Juris Doctor), though in earlier times (and still today in other countries) it could be called LLB (bachelor of laws).
To answer tdolittle's question, in the US a masters degree is generally considered to be more advanced or complete than a diploma - though I'm sure there are exceptions.
In the US, universities typically award "degrees," and these are considered complete... I am not familiar with "diplomas," but that may be an equivalent term for a degree awarded in another country... you will have to be more specific in your question, since there is quite a difference between, say, an MBA and a PhD; an MBA has to do specifically with Business; an LLM has to do specifically with Law; a PhD may be in any recognized subject--maths, English, science, and so forth...
It's about law. I graduated in law and I have to make a postgraduate pre-enrolment in GB. the phrase is exactly: "The Masters in water law has two options: taught degree or research degree. The taught LLM degree (minimum one-year residential requirement) ( does it mean you have to live there?)" and then you can choose among: -Diploma/LLM in international law; -Diploma/MSc in water studies and MBA in water management

????From the information provided, it sounds to me like this program (Dundee?) offers three options for studying water resources: an LLM for those interested in studying the legal aspects, an MSc for those interested in the science/technical aspects, and an MBA for those interested in the business/management aspects.
A diploma is usually a certificate that acknowledges a certain level of studies, but which falls short of a complete degree program. But I would check the descriptions offered by the particular universities / institutions you're considering.
