J22 Master of Science (Interdisciplinary Studies)

INTRODUCTION

The Master of Science is a two year full-time or equivalent part-time course for graduates of a relevant degree course. In research based Master courses, the first year consists of coursework and the second year is devoted to research.

 

The interdisciplinary approach recognises that solutions to problems often rely on knowledge gained across tranditional disciplines. In the selection of fields of research, students are encouraged to examine the broad perspective within which the problem lies and to adopt problem-solving techniques applicable across disciplines.
