Master of Science (MSc) in Bioengineering

The University of Otago

Bioengineering is rooted in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and the life sciences. It is a multi‑disciplinary approach to the systematic, quantitative, and integrative methods of developing solutions to problems important in biology, medical research, and clinical proactive and population studies. A PhD within the Centre can be highly rewarding as the projects involve applying basic science to real problems. PhD students can either enroll at the University of Otago or a collaborating institution. We also provide a Master of Applied Science in Bioengineering. Our academics and clinicians are active researchers and provide learning based on the latest research across four of the bioengineering activities.A candidate achieving the degree by papers and a thesis shall normally follow a programme for the equivalent of not less than two years of full-time study and not more than three years of full-time study, and a candidate achieving the degree by thesis alone shall normally follow a programme of study for the equivalent of not less than one year of full-time study and not more than two years of full-time study.
