Masters (Research)
The Master of Science (Research) provides an opportunity for students to acquire research skills and deepen their knowledge in an area of science.
Students work under the guidance of a supervisor who is a full-time academic staff member of the faculty. Students are examined through the presentation of a thesis, and may be required to take prescribed subjects in research methodology or any other subject deemed necessary by their principal supervisor. In addition, students are expected to undertake extra activities in consultation with their supervisor to enhance and develop their skills as a researcher, where these activities are documented each year in the form of a study plan.
Career options include environmental consultant, medical scientist, researcher, resource manager, scientist or technologist.
