QuoteOriginally posted by: QuantVaderThe best master is Part III Cambridge.I checked for an update:QuoteDegree titlesIf you are a Cambridge student doing Part III as the fourth year of a four year course you will, provided you pass Part III, be entitledto a ‘BA with MMath’. (Note that the MMath does not exist as a separate degree, the BA with MMath is, in effect, a single degree.) Everybody elsewho passes Part III is entitled to a ‘Master of Advanced Studies’ or MASt.This represents what we believe will be the case, not what we know will be the case.If this sort of thing matters to you, note that the changes still have to be approved.from http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~twk/PartIII.pdf

Maybe only the new punters will get em?when they changed various 4 year engineering degrees, they awarded masters degrees retroactively to past students.One assumes they will do the same for math
