MA Vs Scottish MA

MA Vs Scottish MA is a Masters program taught at University of Edinburgh, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The University of Edinburgh explains that a Scottish MA is an undergraduate programme. After four years of studying an MA in Edinburgh, students obtain an undergraduate Linguistics degree, described as equivalent to a BA Linguistics degree in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland. The University of Edinburgh also explains that people sometimes confuse this with an MA in England.

The University of Edinburgh says a Scottish MA is equivalent to an English BA. It adds that the Scottish MA takes four years, while the English BA takes three years. It also describes different curriculum structure: the Scottish MA has “pre-honours” (Years 1 and 2) with grades not counting, and “honours” (Years 3 and 4) where grades count. The University of Edinburgh contrasts this with the English BA, which is intense and subject-based.
