BA and BSc are first degrees. You are an undergraduate when you are studying for them. When you get your degree you graduate (verb), and are a graduate (noun). There is no difference between BA and BSc, they reflect the traditional seperation of arts and scsience subjects. Most archaeology degreees are BA, a few unis offer BSc (eg Bradford) for more practical/science based courses.
A Masters is an MA or MSc. This is a second degree you can do after your BA or BSc. When you study for this you are a post-graduate student.
PhD comes next, and you get to call yourself Doctor when you get it.
I'll let someone else explain about MPhil. and all the other oddsods....
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
