Masters Degrees

Watching a TV drama today, one of the characters went to Cambridge University to do a one-year Masters Degree in Law. When she got her results she found she'd been awarded a 'first class honours'. That seems odd to me - are there honours awarded in a masters degree?

I read Maths at one of the 'new' universities and got a BA. Was considered trendy at the time.
