as a matter of interest, the masters courses have odd
titles to distinguish them from the undergraduate degrees.
Oxford and Cambridge give out MA degrees to their undergraduates
after a certain period of time (6 years from start for
Cam, 7 for Oxford) without further study. So they can't
call their masters degrees MA.
Just to clarify:
MSt at Oxford = MPhil at Cambridge = MA everywhere
else - 1 year
MPhil at Oxford = MPhil everywhere else - 2 years
MSt at Cambridge = part time masters course (so not
equivalent to MSt at Ox)
MLitt = same amount of time as PhD, but without the
need for it to be a "significant contribution to
knowledge".
