Doesn't Oxford just automatically boost all bachelors to masters a year after graduating though?

Yes, you’re awarded an MA (Oxon) after a few years of graduating, but this is a ‘proper’ Masters course

The fourth year of an undergrad also gives an “undergraduate master’s”.

Yeah, this too. What I mean is that the MSc in SoftEng is a "normal" Masters program. Oxford has too many weird caveats to cover :D

That's just Master of Arts (MA). MSc, MEng, MLitt, etc., are not automatic.
