Fair point. I'll try to get a meeting with the program director again and talk to them about my concerns / potential plans. If it ends up not being possible to get research experience during the coursework-based masters, I'll use the time I have left at my undergrad plus the 6 months until the...

Thank you for your in-depth reply. The coursework-based masters (1yr) is generally made for people who do not want to pursue a PhD, whereas the thesis-based masters (2yr) is for people who do want one.
