Work / Qualifications - Mgr Title on my business card? [17]

Hi all,

If I have a Master's degree (MSci) from a UK university, and move to Poland, can I use the title Mgr. on my business card, since it's an equivalent qualification?

Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I thought that a Magister was equivalent to a Master's, but if its only equivalent to a BSc at best then I needn't bother anyway!

Work / Qualifications - Mgr Title on my business card? [17]

I appreciate you looking for a relevant thread but I'd already read it! Maybe if I rephrase my question in simpler terms you'll see that my question wasn't answered in it. My question wasn't asking if a Master's degree and a Magister were the same. I had already, wrongly assumed that they were equivalent, but that wasn't the crux of the question. The answer that I was after was regarding the use of the pre-nominal title "Mgr" and specifically, whether the use of the title was restricted to those who had achieved a Polish Magister qualification, or whether a holder of a UK Master's degree, as an equivalent (or better) qualification, could aptly use the title on, for instance, a CV or business card.

My apologies if I've missed the answer to that question in the thread that you just linked to. I can't seem to see it. Perhaps you could quote it?
