An MSc is a Drs (short for Doctorandus, he who must/will become a 
doctor) and a PhD is a Dr (the actual Doctor) and we place the titles in 
front of the name. So when I did my thesis I went from Drs. Linnenbank 
to Dr. Linnenbank. Note that Drs does not mean more than one doctorate, 
a mistake sometimes made by some foreigners.
