BSc or MSc?

I'm slightly worried.

Note: in this post MSc will denote the undergrad MSc, whereas MSc* the graduate.

When I applied I was of the impression that MSc prepares for research, whereas BSc is just as good for employability?

E.g. mathematics with economics BSc, am I in trouble?

I can go BSc -> MSc* ?

In trouble in what way? Like you will "only" have a BSc and are worried you need an MSc to get a job?

I'd say a BSc is fine for job getting purposes - unless you're in some super competitive occupation and even then the 1 or 2 years you'd spend doing to MSc might be better spent gaining experience in the job market.

undergrad MSc is called MSci.

I'm just generally confused now.

Simply put, I was just wondering if I'll be at a disadvantage on the job market due to taking a BSc rather than a MSci in 'Mathematics with Economics' (from UCL) ? If so, to what extent?

Then I had another question, which was if it is possible to take a MSc (not MSci) after a BSc ?

Many thanks, and sorry if I didn't fully understand your post.
