理学硕士（MSc）是两年制学位，涵盖课程和研究。第一年主要涉及课程工作和初步研究准备。学生将有机会为现有的研究领域做出贡献，或开始开发新的领域。可以在下面列出的任何学科中研究MSc，并且可以通过课程和论文的结合或仅通过论文来获得。拥有学士学位的学生将通过论文和论文（至少两年的全日制学习）完成硕士学位。拥有荣誉学位或研究生文凭的学生只能按论文完成学位（至少学习一年）。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。
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. 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.<br><br>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.
