..doesn't mention 2-year senior status BA for those already holding a recognised UG degree from elsewhere.... Badgerpatrol 04:22, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Location of article[edit]

Practically every Oxford article uses the form "University of Oxford" unless "Oxford University" is in the formal title. Unless there's objection I'll move this page to Degrees of the University of Oxford in two days. Timrollpickering 17:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of medieval/mediæval[edit]

In this article, it's always spelt "mediæval". "Pocket Fowler's Modern English Usage" (1999) states that "medieval is the recommended spelling, not mediaeval". As far as I can see, WP usage also seems to prefer "medieval". Are there any objections to changing the spelling? Brindt 08:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Order of Precedence[edit]

Does a BM/Bchir or BCL holder who is also an MA rank higher than an ordinary MA with no other degree, or do they rank the same ? 161.24.19.112 (talk) 13:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ivy League Claim[edit]

Deleted: "The Ivy League universities of the United States have far advanced their British counterparts in the last century, especially graduates awarded Honors status which requires completion of a Master's level thesis, equivalent to the two year MPhil. at Oxford University and equivalent to two years of Master's level work in regular British universities"

The references for this do not discuss equivalence between Ivy League and British/Oxbridge degrees at all. It is also unclear whether 'Master's level' work is commensurable across these contexts in any case.

Also changed the preceding sentence to reflect the actual content of the references. MordantAnalyst (talk) 13:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BM, BCh degree[edit]

BM means Bachelor of Medicine. BCh means Bachelor of Surgery. SO the abriviation of two sub subjects of same degree may be abriviated BMBS instead of BM,BCh ... (talk) 03:41, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
