'der Master' and 'das Masterstudium' are closely related, but they do not mean the same thing. 'Der Master' is the academic degree you receive at the end. 'Das Masterstudium' is the degree program or the period of study that leads to this degree. Learners may confuse the words because both come after the bachelor's degree. As a simple guide: you do a 'Masterstudium' and then receive the 'Master'.
