Course Structure

The structure of the MAppSc is necessarily flexible to cater for the varied backgrounds of students entering the course. An individual program of study will be agreed between each student and the dean upon entry to the course. Successful applicants to the course are asked to contact the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology on (03) 6226 2125 to discuss enrolment codes.

The MAppSc comprises four components:

1. A three to six week bridging component (0% weight) in research training, computing, mathematics and any other required disciplines;
2. A one semester consolidation component comprising 50% of undergraduate units with no level 1 units permitted and a maximum of 25% at level 2;
3. A 100% (two semesters) advanced component comprising 75% honours and third level units, and a 25% project. The coursework units will include a minimum of 25% Honours level units. The project will normally be spread over the two semesters to allow the completion of 37.5% coursework in each semester. On approval of the relevant Head of School, the 25% project may be replaced with a further 25% coursework at Honours level; and
4. A 50% thesis.

Exit points

Students who satisfactorily complete the coursework components of the course (up to and including the advanced component) shall be eligible for the award of the Graduate Diploma of Applied Science.
