用法筆記

The subject of study is introduced with the preposition 'in' — Master of Science in Physics, never 'of Physics' or 'on Physics'. The degree is commonly abbreviated as M.S. (American style) or MSc (British style). This sense covers both the programme of study and the final credential; context makes the distinction clear.

用法筆記

When 'Master of Science' refers to a person, it functions as a formal descriptor similar to 'doctor' or 'engineer'. The plural form is 'Masters of Science' (not 'Master of Sciences'). Distinguish from sense 1, where the term refers to the degree or programme itself rather than to the individual who holds it.
