Question about Masters at Oxbridge
Hello, I was wondering if you had to take a bachelor's at oxbridge in order to get a master's there?
Any information would be helpful

No, they routinely accept graduates from other universities from around the globe to do masters degrees (and PhDs) there.
Some confusion may stem from the terminology of "MA" at Oxford and Cambridge, which is not a separate masters degree in itself but a title which is conferred on BA graduates after a set period of time, and so can only be obtained by those who did an undergraduate there. But as above this is a title, not a degree.
The actual masters degrees at each have a variety of other names (MPhil, MSc, MSt, MASt, MRes, etc) and as above, accept any suitably prepared graduate.
