Integrated Masters - CV query

Hi there, I'm not sure if this question is relevant for these forums but thought I'd try my luck as it is related to Employment and Job Seeking.
I have an Integrated Masters Degree (MEng), for those who are not aware, this is one single span of study which incorporates Bachelors and Masters material in one go. My final degree states it is MEng in the degree, but I am just wondering if this equivalent to a BEng and an MEng? As technically I have covered material for both levels.
For my CV, would it be incorrect to list the two separate items because I was only awarded the one higher level qualification?
Thank you

Listing the two separate items would imply that you could provide two different degree certificates, which I presume is not the case.
What you might do is present a summary of the modules you have taken, with one group clearly labelled as the content of an honours degree and then another group clearly labelled as Master-level modules.

I've got a first class BEng (Hons) and you have a MEng as you done a extra year. both are single quals0

I think the integrated degrees have been around long enough for employers to know about them.
Wrong to list as two separate items: the DSes have an MEng, an MMath and an MChem, and DH has a BSc and a MTh. When he was awarded his masters (after much sweating of blood ...), one of his lecturers said the separate qualification would always trump the integrated one, meaning DH was better qualified.
So DS3 got a PhD ...Signature removed for peace of mind1 -
Great, I thought as much but wanted to double check.
Thank you all for clarifying!0 -
If its a CV for an Engineering job then they only care that you have a MEng (and are thus academically eligible for Chartered Engineer) rather than just a Bachelors. It would only be relevant if you'd "topped up" a Bachelors Degree with a separate Masters and you'd have to show that the combination meets the requirements of the Engineering Council1
