Or Prince William studied BA/MA (6 year-program)?

In Scotland at University of St. Andrews:
1) Ordinary (2 years)
2) BA ( I believe it would be 3 years)
3) BA Honours 3/4 years
4) MA 4 years (this is there general degree)
5) MA Honours this is 4 years and you have to do extra modules.
In the UK Prince William could I think do a PhD.

Is this right or worng please can some other people help sriwadee out?

It looks as though the undergraduate degrees in arts subjects are MA, not BA, although the science ones seem to be BSc degrees. Oxford and Cambridge also award MA and MSc degrees rather than the BA and BSc ones. In the geography department (Prince William's subject), students graduating in geography get MA degrees but those graduating in geoscience get BSc degrees.
