The Faculty of Science at Clayton offers a Master of Applied Science program to appropriately qualified graduates who have relevant work experience. A research-based program involving examination of a thesis, plus ancillary coursework as may be prescribed, leads to the MAppSc degree. Inquiries should be directed in the first instance to a head of department. Areas for research include chemistry, mathematics and applied physics.

Chemistry

Water sciences, aquatic biology, applied electro-chemistry, manufacture of synthetic drugs, polymer chemistry and surface chemistry;

Mathematics

Mathematical modelling of physical systems, air quality modelling, complex analysis, business forecasting, applied robust statistics.

Applied physics

Acoustics, particularly propagation of impulsive noise; materials, structure and detection of faults in materials by computerised tomography and other techniques; computer image processing applied to shape analysis, texture aspects of surfaces and monitoring and control.
