Master of Science

The Master of Science is an advanced program for science graduates with an undergraduate degree in a cognate discipline. It is designed for two distinct groups of students: the professional scientists aiming to extend their industry-related knowledge and skills for career advancement, and those considering a research degree. In the first year of the course, you will complete advanced studies in your chosen field as well as a project in your chosen topic. In the second year of the course, you will complete further studies to deepen your knowledge in your chosen field. These studies will culminate in a capstone unit involving a project that is either aligned with the research strengths within the School, or which applies discipline domain knowledge to an industry context. The Master of Science is available in the following disciplines: • Astrophysics • Atmospheric science • Earth science • Physics
