pterosaur Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm from the US and back in the US for my PhD, but I got my masters in the UK and I'm not sure how to list in on my CV. It seems like in the UK they'd just say "MRes(Dist) in Something" but I don't know if Americans would know what the abbreviations are for. Would I be better off spelling out "Master of Research in Something, with Distinction," which seems kind of superfluously wordy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Perhaps wordy but worth spelling out. I, at least, had no idea what MResDist stands for, and I'm probably not the only one. Make your readers' lives maximally easy, don't make them work to figure out what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Agreed with fuzzy. And spelling out in full probably won't take more than 1 line, so it doesn't really save "space" to abbreviate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
