The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) is a 180-credit postgraduate program focused on coursework. While typically aimed at graduates, the degree also welcomes applicants with equivalent professional qualifications. This interdisciplinary program builds scientific foundations while developing adaptable skills for diverse applications. Students can choose specialized tracks in commercialization, industry projects, or independent research.
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in sustaining Earth's ecosystems. Representing over half of all living organisms, merely 1% have been thoroughly examined. Pathogenic microbes like bacteria and viruses threaten human health, making our immune defenses vital. This dynamic between microorganisms and immunity proves essential for human existence.
The University of Otago stands alone in New Zealand by offering undergraduate degrees in both Microbiology AND Infection and Immunity. These programs reveal the hidden microbial world and immune mechanisms while exploring their real-world applications.
