Specialisations
You have the option of completing a specialisation, however it is not a requirement of the course. A specialisation requires the completion of 18 credit points chosen from units of study listed in the table for that specialisation. See the Science Handbook for information about which units to complete for a specialisation. The specialisations available are:
- Biomolecular Science
- Materials Science
Completion requirements for Master of Science in Microscopy & Microanalysis (no specialisation)
To qualify for the Master of Science in Microscopy & Microanalysis (no specialisation), you must complete a total of 48 credit points of units of study, comprising:
- 24 credit points of core units of study; and
- 24 credit points of elective units of study.
