MPhil和LLM有什么区别

MPhil一般是PhD第一年，也叫副博士。这么说吧，一般PhD课程注册的时候都是以MPhil注册的，成绩好顺利进入第二三年转成PhD。相对来说研究成分比较多，课程比较少；读完第一年不想接着念了，可以拿个Mphil的degree回家。LLM是正好相反授课制的硕士，LLM在其他国家也是针对具体小方向的硕士课程。
MPhil所进行的是为期两年的专业研究。一般很少上课 -- 除非是导师制定选修某些课程。同时，一般也很少考试。只是交研究报告，论文就可以了。从某种角度，MPhil和PhD差不多。泛泛的讲，两者的差异在于从事研究的时间不同：前者是进行两年的专业研究;后者是三年。除此之外，最关键的区别就是，两者的培养目的和对研究课题的要求程度不一样。
LLM是一个一年制的法学进阶课程，相当于中国的法学硕士学位。全称是Master of Law。美国本国非法学背景学生基本上以读JD为主。凡具有法学学士或以上学位者可以申请美国的LLM。
通常读LLM的主要有两类人。一是有工作经验的律师。由于在外资所，没有外国律师执照，基本上不可能从法律助理升到associate。而英国执照相对于美国执照要困难很多，需要2年的intern+PCLL考试，所以很多律师都选择去美国镀金，用最快速、经济的方法获得外国律师执照。二是一些本科刚毕业的学生。
对于国际学生来说，LLM基本没有奖学金，所以每一个申请人必须抱定自费的打算。LLM的学费一年在3万5－4万6美金不等，加上各地的生活费不等（以NY和LA最贵）。总共的花费估计在50万人民币左右。LLM费用每年都在增长，基本上每年的增长率为10%。

楼上正解 : )

MPhil一般是研究式的硕士，并不是什么哲学硕士，PhD的Ph也是philosophy，但跟哲学没什么关系。MPhil一般是PhD第一年，这么说吧，一般PhD课程注册的时候都是以MPhil注册的，成绩好顺利进入第二三年转成PhD。相对来说研究成分比较多，课程比较少。LLM是正好相反授课制的硕士，LLM在其他国家也是针对具体小方向的硕士课程。MPhil应该只有英联邦国家才有。

I respect Rele2, but I can't agree with him/her this time.

The name of the degree reflects the method of study and/or the goals of the program.

MPhil is Masters of Philosophy and PhD is Doctor of Philosophy. They are research based programs and all knowledge eventually lead to philosophy, which is the foundation of everything.

MPhil is to verify old or current knowledge, but PhD is to create new knowledge. Any candidate can register in an MPhil or a PhD program upon graduation from their Bachelor's. An MPhil graduate can move onto a PhD program, or a PhD candidate can opt to graduate with an MPhil if he or she fails to produce new knowledge. Every PhD has an MPhil component. The goals are different. The purposes are also different.

In a law school in USA and Canada, LLB is a graduate program to train lawyers who have an undergraduate degree in any discipline. LLM is a research degree, very similar to a PhD, though LLM is also an advanced degree in law skills. There is a JD (Doctor of Justice or Doctor of Jurisdiction), which is an academic research program in law, but graduates are not entitled to any qualification for legal practice.

If you have an LLB, you can register for either LLM or MPhil, but their focus is very different. For LLM, probably your goal is either to become a senior law practitioner or a professor in a law school. For MPhil or PhD or JD within a law school, your goal will be within the academic world.

哲学硕士，MPhil(不是修哲学的,仅是名头,) LLM法学硕士
