Master Degree Hi everyone, I'm currently writing a cover letter, and I have some trouble with the bachelor/master... system. I am in fourth year of law studies, which is France is a "Master 1", but I have a hard time finding how to express it in English... Since a Master is two years long (at least in the French system, you have a diploma only after two years of master), so I can't say "I will be completing my master degree in..." Is "I will be completing my first year of master in May 2011" okay ? Can people understand what I mean ? Precision needed : it's for a master in Switzeland :( always such a hassle to understand the different systems in different countries !

Yes and no. Technically, you don't complete a first year, or a second, or any year. You only complete the course. In most universities, people are at different levels at the same time in the course. Some work slowly, others work fast. You need to say things like: I am half way through the course. Now that would make sense.
