Clear.
Concerning the second question: as if I heard them saying: "Masters" (or master's). The "s" is common.
Or is it only in place of "of", so it's "master's degree".
What do you think?

youssefdir so it's "master's degree"
Yes.

I got my master's in Business Administration.

The speaker is not naming the degres; she is just stating her field.
