A Master of Science (Technology) (MSc(Tech)) is normally a two year coherent, advanced programme of study building on the specialisation of the BSc(Tech) degree, which combines taught papers with an applied or industrial based research thesis or dissertation. The programme includes two papers on industrial technology and innovation.

The MSc (Tech) degree provides its graduates with advanced technical ability relevant to their area of specialisation. It gives them a great depth and breadth of knowledge of science and technology, particularly with regard to the technological problems in the industrial sector of the New Zealand economy.

It is a prime characteristic of a University degree to have teaching informed by research. The MSc(Tech) exemplifies this by integrating taught papers with research practice. Our staff have acquired national and international reputations in their subjects and place emphasis on maintaining a fruitful balance between the growth areas of scientific endeavour and applied technological applications of that knowledge. The Faculty has extensive contacts within local industry and crown research institutes.

The MPhil degree is solely a research degree, designed to recognise an original contribution to knowledge that is normally presented as a thesis. It is intended to be the product of one year of full-time research.

The Master of Philosophy is a pre-eminent research-based degree in which students undertake a programme of approved and supervised research that leads to a thesis. The thesis critically investigates an approved topic of substance and significance, demonstrates expertise in the methods of research and scholarship, displays intellectual independence and makes a substantial original contribution to the field of study, and is of publishable quality. It encourages development of research skills and furthers your knowledge of techniques, as well as providing training in specialist areas.

A Bachelors with Honours or Masters degree with at least Second Class Honours (First Division) or Distinction is required. Entrance is at the discretion of the Postgraduate Studies Committee.

The Master of Science (MSc) is an internationally-recognised qualification, valued for it's flexibility and general excellence in education and training.

The MSc degree is tailored towards gaining its graduates excellent career opportunities while also providing a great background for further study. You will add to your knowledge of techniques as well as receiving training in specialist areas. While developing your research skills you will have the opportunity to contribute to existing areas of research or to begin to develop new areas. Research programmes exist across a wide range of disciplines, supported by the primary research interests of staff.

The Master of Science is normally a two-year programme of study which combines taught papers with a research thesis. You will have the opportunity to undertake research with staff who are leaders in their field and will have the use of world-class laboratory facilities. A 12 month Master of Science degree by thesis research may be available to students who have already completed a qualification such as a Bachelor of Science (Honours) or a Postgraduate Diploma.

This is the premier research degree. The degree normally takes 3 years of full-time study. It is the highest degree awarded by the University for research that is carried out under the supervision of staff members.

Candidates are required to make an original contribution to the field of study by empirical investigation, the formulation of theories, or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas. The research is normally written up as a thesis. The thesis is required to demonstrate methods of research and scholarship; display intellectual independence; present arguments, findings and conclusions; make a substantial contribution to knowledge in a particular field and may include published papers or those that are intended for publication.

The PhD degree is awarded after the examination of a thesis (generally takes three years full-time) of supervised research and significant parts of the work should be worthy of publication at international level. Normally there are no taught classes for this qualification.

A Bachelors with Honours or Masters degree with at least Second Class Honours (First Division) or Distinction is required. Entrance is at the discretion of the Postgraduate Studies Committee.
