Apr 2, 2021 at 10:22 comment added Zhen Lin In the UK an MSc is a postgraduate degree and an MSci is an undergraduate degree, at least back when I was in university. I see that UCL does still make this distinction – the 4-year undergraduate course leads to an MSci and the two 1-year postgraduate courses lead to an MSc. I don't know why Oxford chooses to be ambiguous about its entry requirements but Cambridge makes it clear that the minimum is a 4-year undergraduate degree or a 3-year undergraduate degree followed by a 1-year postgraduate degree.

Apr 2, 2021 at 8:19 comment added YCor The 2 years of masters degree (maîtrise and DEA in the old terminology in French) were the most interesting years of my education as a mathematician, especially the second one.
