Science

Students select one of five specialisations from the Master of Science, building high-level expertise in their chosen scientific domain:

• Analytical Chemical Technologies
• Biomedical Engineering
• Environmental Consultancy and Conservation
• Mathematical and Statistical Data Science
• Medical Laboratory Science

Business

Students complete a mix of core and elective business and business-science subjects:

• Core subjects: A series of core business subjects in areas such as leadership and change management, financial management, economics, strategic management and marketing prepares students for future professional practice.
• Science-business subjects: Students learn to apply a business lens to their scientific practice with two purpose-designed science-business subjects (Science Business Models and Intellectual Property, and Risk Assessment and Management for Science) that articulate the interplay between these two vital disciplines.
• MBA stream: Students choose from a wide range of elective subjects depending on their area of interest.
