As with other professions, teaching in universities was only carried out by people who were properly qualified. In the same design that a carpenter would pass through the grades of apprentice and journeyman to attain the status of master carpenter when fully qualified by his guild, a teacher would become a master when he had been licensed by his profession, the culture guild. These teaching guilds in various cities took on the identity "university" when granted a charter (by the Pope or the Holy Roman Emperor in Europe's case), and students were admitted to the university and passed through its grades in ways straight off analogous to those of the trade guilds.
The emphasis of the thesis must be in its clarity and ease of understanding by future students, not in its originality. Professional master's degrees on the other hand be fitting Go involve taking a larger number of classes, and, in the case of engineering programs in particular, often completing a occupation as an intern in an engineering band and submitting a final project report. The most relevant difference to the international scenario is that, due to restrictive production goals appointed by command agencies, in most universities a Master amount is not only considered inferior to a Doctor amount but a pre-requisite for the admission in a Doctorate program.
