It probably means that they are not from the USA. Other countries call Masters in Science MSc using the first two letters of "Science" -- while it is just MS in the USA.

Msc is the correct abbreviation for Master of Science here in UK. Similarly, Bsc is Bachelor of Science.

MSc or M.Sc. means master of science. Generally, the field of study is included, as in "MSc in Sociology." It generally indicates that the master's program was weighted with couses of a scientific, mathematical, or technical nature -- as opposed to an M.A. (or master of arts), which would include more of a concentration in history, language, and literature.
Frequently, you'll see M.Sc. further abbreviated to M.S.

"MSc" refers to "Master of Science", and that's done to distinguish the degree from a "B.S." or Bachelor of Science degree.
