a reference. There are 3 progarms available for graduate study.
I list them as below for your further reference

1. Thesis:: You have a supervisor. You take money from him and work for
him. Benefit, you don't need to worry about money. You can study very
slowly. Shortcoming, you may need to stay in the program for years.
Your supervisor may ask you follow him as long as possible.

2. Project:: Similiar to the thesis. difference is you work on project
instead of writing thesis. Project is usually quicker than thesis and
more practicle.

3. Courses::In my opinion, it is the best. You take 8 courses in total.
But you have no funding at all. You are on your own. You have to finish
it very quickly, otherwise, you will use up all your money.

Good luck and take my words only as reference. By the way, I will attend
the weekend gathering. If you go there, I can tell you more.
