Overview

The Science Management program is specifically designed for science graduates who are making, or expect to make, the transition to management roles in their place of employment.

Graduates of the program possess theoretical and practical knowledge in science and management and are able to: define and solve problems critically; evaluate literature and other information; understand the processes required to establish and maintain collaborative relationships; and understand the relationship between knowledge, research and practice.

Articulation

This course is part of an articulated program comprising the Graduate Certificate in Science Management (C11150), the Graduate Diploma in Science Management (C07085), and the Master of Science Management.

Students transferring from the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma program are given full credit, subject to successful completion of academic requirements, to the Master's program. There may be cases where students who have successfully completed some of the Master's program wish to transfer to the Doctor of Technology program.

Students who have completed the Master's program may apply for admission to the Master of Business Administration program and may be granted advanced standing. Contact the Graduate School of Business for further details.

Additional admission requirements

Applicants should have a Bachelor's degree, preferably in science, from UTS or another recognised institution. The broad nature of this degree may also attract business graduates now working in science-related fields.

Applicants who do not hold a Bachelor's degree but who have extensive work experience are permitted to enrol in the Graduate Certificate, with entry to the Graduate Diploma or Master's program contingent on their satisfactory performance in the Graduate Certificate.

Course duration and attendance

The course is offered on a one-year full-time or two-year part-time basis.

The science subjects within this program are offered in intensive block mode to accommodate the needs of work-based students. Continuing assessment items ensure ongoing interaction with academic staff. Typically, each 12-credit-point science subject requires six days of attendance, which would normally be scheduled for weekend attendance.

If there is sufficient demand, some subjects may be delivered offshore.

Course structure

The Master's program consists of a total of 48 credit points. Two subjects are compulsory, then students must choose 12 credit points of science subjects and 12 credit points of business subjects.
