Page "Quadrivium" Paragraph 5

At many medieval universities, this would have been the course leading to the degree of Master of Arts ( after the BA ).

After the MA, the student could enter for Bachelor's degrees of the higher faculties ( Theology, Medicine or Law ).

To this day, some of the postgraduate degree courses lead to the degree of Bachelor ( the B. Phil and B. Litt.

degrees are examples in the field of philosophy, and the B. Mus.

remains a postgraduate qualification at Oxford and Cambridge universities ).
