There are various master’s degrees, such as MA (Master of Arts), MSc (Master of Science), MPhil (Master of Philosophy), MTheol (Master of theology) and PhD (Master of Arts) respectively.

The “As an MSc student, only one of these possibilities, while the “Master’s student” would cover all of them. If you could say postgraduate student, this would include people studying towards doctorates.

Should the apostrophe in “master’s” be retained (see https://en.oxforddictionaries.org/docs/hilarity/blog/?id=0166619_21_27)? Definition of master. For examples. http://dion_master.com/definition/master.com/?

And “Master’s student” is some official or semi-official usage ( https://www.google.co.uk/search): How does it come together? q=%22master%27s+students%22_site:.ac.uk; http://www.manchester.ac.uk. (London) ; http://www.manchester-ac.uk. uk/study/masters/funding/living-costs/../?
