Overview

The Master of Science program provides an opportunity for graduates to acquire research skills and deepen their knowledge in an area of science. Students work under the guidance of a supervisor who is a member of the full-time academic staff of the University.

Course duration

This program normally involves a period of four semesters, full-time, or six semesters, part-time supervised original research.

Course program

Assessment

The degree is examined through presentation of a thesis. In the presentation of the thesis the student is expected to show competence in scientific endeavour by:

• reviewing the previous publications/work relevant to the research project
• project design and execution
• realistic appraisal of significance of project to area of study
• acceptable standard of presentation, and
• capacity for independent investigation.

The depth and scope of the project is somewhat less than those required for a Doctoral award. The aim of the program is the professional development of the candidate, providing experience in problem definition, hypothesis formulation and testing, data acquisition, analysis and interpretation, and project presentation.
