A few Canadian universities also offer the MPhil degree as a steppingstone
to things Piled Higher and Deeper.

> On a more serious note in the UK an MA (or MSc) is usually a postgraduate
degree which usually stands alone.  It may be taught, research or a
combination.   An MPhil tends to be what you register for when you want a
PhD or DPhil then after your first year you convert to PhD or DPhil if you
have reached the required standard - MPhils are therefore entirely
reasearch.

> Being the UK there are of course lots of variations depending on the
institution.
