Does this say something about the calibre of Oxbridge students?

Yes. Or at least their character. What do you think was the inspiration for Tolkien's orcs? JRRT was an Oxford prof.

AFAIK you have to wait a year. You probably would lose the right if you had been convicted of a criminal offence in that time but I doubt the University checks. Blasphemy is also grounds for not being awarded an MA - or at least it used to be.

Ask S'mon. He's an Oxford MA.

I could be wrong (my info is second hand) but I think it's longer than a year.

We have a Cambridge BA in our office and I don't think she's got her free MA yet, despite it definitely being over a year since she graduated (she's a qualified architect). I'll ask her about it next time she comes down stairs.

Of course, Oxford & Cambridge could be different.

You're right. My bad . It's four years after most students graduate (actually, it's seven after they matriculate) plus a small fee.
