MA is master of art according to google. MSc seems right.

  Many (most, in the US; don't know about Sweden or Australia) institutions don't draw a distinction between the two and award MA regardless.

    Some universities simply give you an MA a few years after getting a BA without you having to do anything additional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Arts_(Oxford,_Cambridge,_and_Dublin) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Arts_(Oxford,_Cambri...

From Wikipedia "...Lundgren received a degree in chemical engineering from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the early 1980s and a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney in 1982...." Excerpt from https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/remarkable-rise-dolph-lundgren/ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/remarkable-rise-dolph-lundgren/ "....As a result, he was awarded a full ride to the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Fulbright Scholar..." The above Wikipedia article says Dolph quit studying at MIT after two weeks for acting career.
