应用科学硕士（MAppSc）是180点课程作业的研究生学位。候选人通常是应届毕业生，但学位也对具有其他相关资格的人开放。MAppSc专为希望学习以科学为基础的跨学科学习计划的学生而设计，该课程提供与多个最终用户相关的多功能技能。可选的途径可以强调商业化，基于工作场所的项目或独立研究。MAppSc可以在12个月内或分阶段完成，从而为应届毕业生和当前就业者提供了灵活性。生物工程，生物技术工程或生物工程（包括生物系统工程）是应用工程原理来应对生物学和医学领域中的挑战。
The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) is a 180-point, coursework postgraduate degree. A candidate would normally be a graduate but the degree is also open to those with other relevant qualifications. The MAppSc is designed for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary programme of study underpinned by science that delivers versatile skills relevant to multiple end-users. Optional paths are available that emphasise commercialisation, workplace-based projects or independent study.<br>Bioengineering is rooted in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and the life sciences. It is a multidisciplinary approach to the systematic, quantitative, and integrative methods of developing solutions to problems important in biology, medical research, and clinical proactive and population studies.<br>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 offer Master of Applied Science and Master of Science degrees in Bioengineering, as well as Bioengineering endorsements for the Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Science. Candidates are based in one or more departments within the Division of Sciences or Health Sciences.
