Masters (Coursework)
The Master of Science (BioSciences) is a collaborative course allowing students to specialise in bioscience disciplines and undertake a major research project. It includes professional skill-building subjects, opportunities for internships, and a focus on scientific communication.
Breed zoology with plant science and cross-pollinate with genetics and you've produced the Master of Science (BioSciences).
This uniquely collaborative course is yours to personalise. Select your area of specialisation and pair it with a choice of professional skill-building subjects.
The defining feature of the course is a major research project in your study area. You'll be supervised by one of our renowned researchers, who work on everything from sensory ecology to aquaculture technology and plant pathology.
Be research-readyYour research experience might inspire you to continue to a PhD, or you can put your analytical and communication skills to use in the global workforce, alongside many of our alumni.
A course tailored for youYou can choose to focus on any of our bioscience disciplines: ecology, evolution, environmental science, genetics, genomics, development, or plant science.
You'll then complement your discipline-specific subject choices and research project with professional skills subjects.
Develop your skills with real-world problemsYou'll leave the course with a major research project to feature in your CV. In the research project, you'll develop and apply scientific tools to real-world problems, in a lab, out in the field, or on a computer, working in the research team of one of our academics.
If you'd like to gain even more real-world experience, you can choose to complete an internship in a science or technology-related workplace for course credit.
More than just technical skillsWe know that soft skills are important too, which is why we include a subject on scientific communication, to ensure you can speak and write effectively about your research.
