In Britain, your first (undergraduate) degree is a  BA(arts or humanities) or a BSc  (science). If you do post-graduate study, you may get an MA or an MSc. After several years of original research and publishing a thesis, you can get a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). Undergraduates usually write essays; a long essay is called a dissertation. A thesis is longer still and contains original research.
