David Drysdale (X) Nov 4, 2009:
Why are we opting for "thesis" when it says, "dissertation". As you know, in the US, a Master's Degree involves a thesis, while a Doctorate involves a dissertation. Is that right?
Phillippa May Bennett Nov 3, 2009:
Great reference. Thanks, Zoe, I had no idea about that!!
Zoe Perry Nov 3, 2009:
UK or US/Canadian English Please note that the final written project for a Master's degree in the UK is called a dissertation, but in the US and Canada it's called a thesis (and dissertation is only for a PhD)

Master's Degree thesis in Religious Studies

This is how I would say it. I don't think it's Religious Science, because that refers to a specific religious denomination.
Peer comment(s):

agree coolbrowne : Yes, this sounds better. However I must disagree with "Religious Science" referring to a specific denomination

http://www.fcrsny.org/ It really is a denomination, honest!
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : (1) We don't use 'dissertation' for the master's degree'; (2) Religious Science is a denomination; (3) thesis for master's degree in RS (degree is in RS, not thesis)

Thank you, thank you, Muriel!
agree Phillippa May Bennett : Yes, if in the US, but in the UK (as Zoe pointed out) we use dissertation for a Master's degree :-)

Master's (degree) dissertation in Religious Studies

Just an idea.
I have a feeling the closest equivalent to ciências da religião is probably Religious Studies.
