Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. Recently, I have tried to do some finding on the difference between master (engineering) in coursework based and research based because I am facing difficulties to choose between them as my future path.
        Research based sounds quite risky for me because I am new to that Uni. Unknown to the characteristics of all lecturers is what I am fear most (especially facing uncooperative relation with supervisor). Secondly, research management probably is another issue I have to deal with. However,  it will provide me a stronger research foundation for PhD in my future.
        Coursework based sounds a safer route to me. However there is a question lies to me. Is it true that a coursework based master graduate (engineering) can apply for PhD programme? If it is true, the only con for coursework based master would be a tougher start for PhD programme in future, right?
