It's less common now in the UK to admit people to PhD programs directly from undergrad. In many cases you'd be expected to do a one-year masters first, although that's not a universal requirement.

Nowhere near universal. It’s common to go from undergrad to PhD in the U.K.

Tbh most Master’s, esp MSc, don’t add anything.

Varies a lot from field to field.
