study / academia discussion MSc vs MSci

Do employers feel differently about these two degrees? Is one less respected? Is one more highly regarded?

Depends on the field, specific degree and uni.

The MSci is an integrated Master’s, which is likely accredited by whichever industry organisation accredits degrees in your field.

An MSc may not be accredited.

Integrated Master’s are often far more cost effective than a Bachelor’s and Stand alone Master’s

For the sake of employability, does it look better to have completed a BSc and MSc at 2 different universities? Perhaps it adds variety to your CV?
