The programme provides students with key knowledge and skills on how to conduct scientific research. Students are also required to conduct research projects in certain aspects of applied science to complete the master's degree. Students enrolled in the programme will be divided into two major streams: science or technology. For students belonging to the science stream, they will study SCI8010SEF, SCI8119SEF, SCI8111SEF, SCI8013SEF and SCI8019SEF. For students belonging to the technology stream, they will study SCI8010SEF, SCI8119SEF, SCI8121SEF, SCI8014SEF and SCI8019SEF. According to the research field of their dissertation, they will be further assigned into different concentrations. For the science students, they will be divided into three concentrations: (1) Biological Research, (2) Chemical Research, or (3) Environmental Research. For the technology students, they will be divided into three concentrations: (1) Electrical and Electronic Research, (2) Physical and Mechanical Research, or (3) Information Technology Research. After their graduation, students will obtain their master’s degree, MSc in Scientific Research. In addition, their concentration will be indicated in their transcript, e.g. MSc in Scientific Research (Concentration: Biological Research).
