I followed the link, but stopped reading at the beginning of paragraph 2: In reality, Mostaque has a bachelor’s degree, not a master’s degree from Oxford. This sentence is odd. Anyone who receives a bachelor's degree from Oxford qualifies to receive master's degree also, so long as they live for at least 7 years after they matriculate (aka enroll). So, as long as Emad finished his undergraduate studies at least 4 years ago, he qualifies to receive master's degree. Officially, the degree is not 'awarded' until you attend a graduation ceremony, or graduate 'in absentia' (i.e. have your name read out at a graduation ceremony).
