An MDC programme is typically titled "Master of <field of study>", an MDR programme may also be titled this way or as "Master of <field of study> (Research)" or as "Master of Research" (MRes), "Master by Research" or "Master of Philosophy (MPhil). EMDs typically have the word "doctor" in their titles despite not being classified as doctorates. Examples include Juris Doctor (JD), Medicinae Doctor (MD), Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), etc.

An MDR programme is categorized as a higher degree by research (HDR), which a category of degrees that share similar scholarship opportunities and similar structures. MPhil programmes are typically treated differently to other MDR programmes in that they typically require demonstrated previous research experience in order to gain entry (for which an honours degree will typically suffice) and they typically provide students the option to articulate into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme.

Other MDR programmes typically allow entry without previous research experience and do not provide the option to articulate into a PhD programme unless the student has the previous research experience required by a MPhil. Although, this can vary between institutions.

The rest of these qualifications typically have a bachelor's degree as at least part of their entry requirement. I have seen some master's degrees in nursing that require a graduate diploma though and relevant work experience.
