    About

    Note

    Commonwealth Supported Places

    There are a limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) available in this course, which are competitive and awarded based on merit. To be considered for a CSP, applicants must:

    • Indicate their interest in a CSP on their application.
    • Apply on time in line with CSP deadlines (it is recommended applicants apply early as applications are assessed progressively).

    Eligible applicants must accept their offer by the lapse date to retain their place. For application deadlines and information, please refer to Postgraduate courses with Commonwealth Supported Places.

    25% Academic Merit Scholarship

    There is a 25% Academic Merit Scholarship available in 2025. Eligible students must commence a Master's or Master (extension) postgraduate course program in the Faculty of Science.

    For more details, refer to the UTS Science Postgraduate Academic Merit Scholarship.

    The Energy Technology major is available to students commencing from Spring 2025 onwards.

    Targeted at aspiring senior scientists, this course equips you with the expertise to make a significant impact in the global science community. Choose this course for its exceptional teaching, industry links, and state-of-the-art resources, ensuring a blend of theory and practice that meets professional standards.

    Distinctive in its approach, the course offers various majors aligned with key scientific progress areas, allowing for specialisation and broad skill acquisition. You'll learn from renowned scientists and mathematicians, with the flexibility to manage your studies alongside personal commitments.

    You will develop high-level scientific skills, professional acumen, and research capabilities. The course is hands-on, with opportunities for real-world application through projects and industry engagement.

    Teaching methods are varied and adaptable, including lectures, practical sessions, and project work, to suit different learning styles and life circumstances. This ensures a comprehensive and practical educational experience, preparing you for advanced roles in science.

    You might want to consider the UTS Master of Science (Extension). A two-year program of full-time study that includes an additional 24 credit points on top of the standard Master of Science curriculum.

    Master of Science Extension students with an interest in research have the option to apply to transfer into the Master of Philosophy in Science, which provides a pathway to the UTS PhD programme.

    Choice of major:

    • Advanced Studies: This major connects students with a diversity of advanced learning opportunities that span the breadth of scientific enquiry, including mathematics, chemistry and environmental science, among others. Whether they’re seeking broad knowledge across multiple science disciplines or they want to tailor their studies to meet a specific career goal, this major delivers an expanded science education that prepares students to progress their careers.
    • Analytical Chemical Technologies: Designed in response to industry demand, this major equips students with in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of industry-standard analytical instrumentation, as well as an understanding of how to develop and validate their methods in line with international accreditation standards. They can upskill in analytical techniques and their application in diverse fields such as environmental, forensic and medical sciences, among others, and engage with research projects that solve industry-relevant problems.
    • Biomedical Engineering: This major arms students with a combination of scientific, research and business skills that will prepare them to innovate in a range of biomedical environments. Curriculum spans advanced scientific concepts, including biomedical instrumentation, nanotechnology, synthetic biology and medical device design and development. Beyond scientific skills development, students also engage with industry-integrated learning, pursue real-world research opportunities, and explore exciting opportunities in project management and entrepreneurship as they relate to the biomedical field.
    • Environmental Consultancy and Conservation: This major is focused on the development of high-level ecology, environmental science and management skills and an understanding of environmental practices as they relate to business, government and the community. Students combine advanced scientific theory with ‘muddy boots’ fieldwork and hands-on practice in contaminated site assessment and remediation, wildlife field techniques, water quality management, coastal restoration and more.
    • Mathematical and Statistical Data Science: Grounded in the mathematical and statistical underpinnings of data science, this industry-focused major prepares students to apply their expertise in a range of real-world contexts. Curriculum combines theoretical (algebra, analysis) and applied (optimisation, econometrics) mathematics with the study of contemporary data science topics (Bayesian methods, machine learning). Students learn from leading mathematicians and statisticians whose research shapes the profession and emerge ready to capitalise on industry demand for qualified data professionals.
    • Medical Laboratory Science: This specialist major is focused on diagnostic pathology and the theory that underpins diagnostic processes and tests. It’s designed for practitioners who are already working in hospital and commercial laboratory settings, as well as up-and-coming pathology professionals and graduates from other science disciplines with an interest in the rapidly expanding pathology sector. Students gain the high-level disciplinary and communication skills expected in senior positions, along with professional and research capabilities that they can apply to a diversity of career paths.
