The MA Degree
Six years and one term after matriculating, a Bachelor of Arts is entitled to take his or her Master of Arts degree, either in person or in absence, provided that two years have elapsed since the BA degree was awarded. The Praelector will write to all those who become eligible each year in December and invite them to attend the Congregation in March. Although the degree may be conferred at any Congregation, the March Congregation is traditionally the occasion when New Hall alumnae return to Cambridge for the event and a special dinner is arranged on the Saturday evening following the ceremony at the Senate House.
If you have been awarded a Master's degree from another University, please note that this does not preclude you from receiving your Cambridge MA.
