Acquire research skills and enhance knowledge in the science field.
The Master of Science (M.Sc) in Glenmarie, Selangor campus provides an opportunity for graduates to acquire research skills and deepen their knowledge in the science field. The research-based program is especially suitable for those who are looking for an ideal pathway between undergraduate study and doctoral degree, and will produce high calibre graduates who would be able to work in their respective specialisation areas.
Students who wish to embark on their research interests through their postgraduate studies are often limited by the program structure designed by academic institutions. The M.Sc offers students the flexibility of choosing their specialisation according to their research interests and career aspirations. Learning is done through consultation with the academic research supervisor.
The M.Sc trains students to critically analyse a problem, design a solution (or make a discovery) and implement the solution, and as such, highly encourages collaboration and innovation. The nature of the program also ensures students enhance their communication of ideas and skills, techniques and management, as well as entrepreneurial skills, all of which are beneficial to practices in the marketplace as well as academic field.
