Online M.Sc

About the programme

Online M.Sc programmes provide advanced learning in selected scientific and analytical disciplines. Because laboratory requirements differ by subject, programme availability online is narrower than for other postgraduate degrees.

Specialisations

Available options vary by university and are confirmed during counselling.
