I think that's why the most prestige for top universities is ascribed to those in the undergrad.

> MSc in Software Engineering

I think "Software engineering" degrees tend to be a strong signal: didn't study CS.

Yeah exactly.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with SE degrees, they can be as rigorous on CS topics while swapping later maths modules for engineering modules. I ended up taking an MSc in CS fwiw.

I believe high quality programs exist, but I bet most that use the name (masters in particular) aren't.
