UCAS application switched from a bachelors to a master

Hi I'm a US student who is applying to schools in the UK. I've already gotten two offers from the schools I've applied and this morning I got an offer from the Unviersity of Glasgow, but the offer was for a masters degree. I checked back to the email I got when I first submitted my application and I didn't make a mistake and I applied for the bachelors degree. In the applicant homepage for Glasgow it looks like it thinks I applied to both the bachelors and masters programs. I've emailed Glasgow and will be getting in contact with UCAS, but idk what else to do. Has this happened to anyone else?

I’m not a Glasgow applicant but I am Scots. Is it possible you’ve just come across the convention that the mediaeval (“ancient”) universities in this country style the undergraduate humanities degree Magister Artium out of tradition for the first time?

I totally thought MA meant masters degree, it's been a hectic day so I didn't even think it could mean something else. It's still weird that the UCAS code changed from C800 to C801, but I can figure that out on my own. Thank you for the help and stopping my mini panic attack
