Masters Degrees in Britain
Your QuestionWhat is MSc? Is it a certificate or a degree? How to find out whether a program will give me a certificate, diploma or degree? In fact, I hope to have a Master degree in Britain. Thank you.
The Answer
MSc is a Masters degree in a Science subject - it stands for Masters in Science.
Usually a Masters degree in an Arts subject is called an MA - Masters in Arts.
Most Masters degrees have one of these titles (you may see some other, for example MLitt = Masters in Literature, but these are not very common).
Do not worry too much about these titles - the important thing is that it is a Masters degree.
If it is a Diploma the title will be Dip (example: Diploma in Marketing).
