Overview

The Master of Science provides students with advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in specialised scientific fields including Earth Science, Grape and Wine Science, International Agricultural Development and Plant Breeding Innovation. The program contains a compulsory core relevant to all science disciplines: communication and quantitative skills, critical analysis, project management and research ethics. Students can develop an understanding of specialised fields in which they have minimal previous knowledge through their choice of courses and a major research project.

The Master of Science is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard duration of 2 years.
