Why aren't B.Th., B.Ed., Mus.B., B.Chir. or M.B. degree holders members of Cambridge's Senate?
To some extent, the answer is &quot;because the statutes and ordinances say so&quot;. However: these are not 'standard' Cambridge undergraduate degrees. If you go to Cambridge and study a 3-year undergraduate programme in theology, education, music or medicine, you will graduate with a BA degree. The listed degrees are/were awarded for specific, somewhat vocational, courses - for example, the BTh is a special two-year programme for people training for ordination.
