Master of Science (by Research)

The Master of Science (by Research) degree aims to provide students with the opportunity to carry out independent and sustained research in a branch of the sciences under appropriate supervision, to develop advanced research skills and techniques, and present their findings in documented scholarly form. The thesis should make an independent contribution to learning, or offer a critical perspective on existing scholarship or methodology.

Graduates with a science or applied science degree or its equivalent may undertake an Master of Science by Research (MSc) program in the School of Physiotherapy or its affiliate Centres.  Students undertaking an MSc may apply to convert to a PhD if acceptable academic progress is made.
