Ya gotta like "must have", both in quotes and in caps, and the thing
immediately following is just "preferred". By the way, do you know why
quotes are used?

They are only interested in candidates who have at some time preferred a
Master's degree ?

Possibly because they felt awkward using slang in a public posting (odd, but
possible).

As an alternative suggestion, they may be under the impression that quotes add
/emphasis/ to the words. That weird misapprehension was quite common in the UK
a few years ago (I never did find out where it came from). One example that I
remember more fondly than most was a sign in a shop window in the run-up to
Christmas which advertised their

Christmas "turkeys"

Well, it amused me anyway...
