Your designation after completing a research program depends on the level:
- Master's-level research program: You will be called a "Master’s Graduate" or "Research Graduate." Common degrees include M.Sc. or M.Res. In professional settings, you might be titled Research Associate or Junior Researcher.
- Doctoral-level research program (Ph.D.): You will earn the title "Doctor" or "Ph.D." During your studies, you may be referred to as a "Ph.D. Candidate" or "Doctoral Researcher."
Titles can vary slightly by country and institution, but these are the standard designations in the USA, UK, and Australia.
