Master

In the medieval universities there were the following academic degrees: bachelor, master and PhD, but in some countries there is only academic degrees: bachelor, licentiate and doctor of philosophy[2]. In 1240 the master received the right to elect the rector.

In the Middle ages a master's degree — Magister artium liberalium (cont. M. A. L.) and was the teacher of the so-called free Sciences. It was subsequently awarded the degree at the philosophical faculty, by the nineteenth century supplanted the degree of doctor of philosophy. In XIX—XX centuries a master's degree, inferior in relation to doctoral, remained in England and Russia.

In the Russian Empire, a master's degree in various Sciences existed in all faculties except the medical. Master of science degree in pharmacy and master of veterinary science was the highest in its field. Master's degree received a person that at the end of a University course kept the special oral test in the known branches of science defended publicly and approved by a faculty thesis. In particularly good cases, the faculty would be allowed to test for the degree of master and the person submitting the doctoral diploma of a foreign University. Face stood the master's exam, but not yet defended the dissertation, name of the student. In the case of particularly outstanding merit of a thesis, the faculty could apply for the construction of a student directly to a doctorate. Having a master's degree could ask for a reckoning in hereditary honourable citizenship; when applying for civil service they were entitled to the rank of class IX. Masters could be appointed extraordinary professors of the universities. The masters were given the same academic distinctions, like doctors, only gold and silver. Orthodox spiritual Academy could dignify the degree of master of theology.
