Huom. ilman tarkennusta termi "ylempi korkeakoulututkinto" viittaa vain yliopistojen, ei ammattikorkeakoulujen ylempiin tutkintoihin. Ammattikorkeakouluissa ylempi tutkinto on "ylempi ammattikorkeakoulututkinto". Englanniksi molemmat ovat master's degree, mutta jos kyseessä on AMK-tutkinto, asia pitää tarkentaa tekstissä.

Note that the English term ‘master’s degree’ is used of the second-cycle degree for both science universities and universities of applied sciences, but in the latter case it should be mentioned that it is from a university of applied sciences.
