Yes, many countries besides Singapore offer two-year master's programs.

- United States: Most master's degrees, especially in engineering and sciences, typically last two years.
- Canada: Many universities offer two-year master's programs in various fields.
- Germany and other European countries: Two-year master's programs are common due to the Bologna Process.
- Australia: Some master's programs are two years, especially if you do not have an honours degree.
- New Zealand: Two-year master's degrees are standard, often combining coursework and research.

Program duration and structure can vary by university and field, and are subject to change. For country or course-specific guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
