English term or phrase: title relating to my Master's degree
Hi, I have a question related to the field ''additional information'' in my c.v.

I would like to know if I put a piece of information in brackets correctly. To be precise, I put my dissertation title and then an additional phrase in brackets. This is as follows :

The Greenhouse Effect: problems, causes and possible solutions (dissertation title relating to my Master's degree).

Is the form ''Master's degree'' I used correct or should I change into ''Master degree course''?

Do not use the word "course" here unless you want to tell the reader that you failed your Master's.

title relating to my master's degree
Master's degree thesis


Explanation:
There is a lot of confusion between the terms dissertation and thesis. You write a dissertation when you do your PhD. A thesis is done for a Master's degree.

Example sentence(s):
  • If you think it's hard writing your Master's thesis, just wait until you start on your PhD dissertation.
