A guess only. See my comments below.

"... studying the XY MSc course with XY faculty."

Depending on the exact name of the course and faculty the wording might change. It's nearly impossible to suggest generic articles and prepositions when you withold the full names as you have.

For the faculty i would suggest you use "at". The course is more difficult. "study" is not normally used in conjunction with it I think. In fact "do a course" is the phrase I always use. If you want something that sounds a bit more fancy you could say "attend" a course, perhaps "participate" in a course, but that might shift the subjective meaning a little...

Hi,

People don't normally speak of an MSc as 'a course'. For one thing , it makes it sound too elementary.

Thank you very much for your help.

Clive: Thanks, I wil note it as a fact. How could you write it with a particular course name ("XY")? What is the appropriate preposition?

I just 'copied' the previous simple form from Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary:

Hi,

eg I'm doing an MSc in biochemistry.

'Biochemistry' here is a field of study, not a course.
