After an exchange of letters bettween myself and representatives of Edinburgh university they were prepared to say in writing that their M.A. was somewhere between an English B.A. and postgraduate degree, being a four year degree (whereas most British B.A.'s are three year degrees) and being from one of the highest rated universities in the UK. Alas, I lost the letter!

This report for the Bologna process in higher education seems to rank a scottish ma at cycle two.

There seems to be a deliberate propaganda campaign to claim a scottish MA is worth less than an English MA. It is vindictive nationalism. It does not stand logic that a 4 year degree in Scotland would only be equal to an English 3 year degree. The Modern report http://www.qaa.ac.uk/academicinfrastructure/FHEQ/SCQF/SelfCertification2007.asp shown here does proove a scottish MA is equal to an English MA not an English BA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Newunscok (talk • contribs) 20:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
