The variations in structure and content between Masters degree courses offered to psychiatry trainees around the country are documented. Most courses are integrated to some degree with statutory Membership teaching. The extent to which courses differ is likely to surprise readers. The implications for the junior trainee as well as for consultant or senior registrar appointment committees is discussed. Universities act autonomously, hence a Masters degree awarded by one may bear no relation to that awarded by another.
