Master of Science (Life Sciences)

The Master of Science in Life Sciences is offered by the National Institute of Education through coursework and a dissertation. It is designed for working teachers, science graduates and other professionals interested in life sciences, with courses arranged in manageable parts that can be adapted to a student's earlier education. The programme covers both the knowledge base and the experimental skills needed in the field. Students follow a personalised roadmap that presents recent scientific developments and discusses social and bioethical questions, while preserving the range and rigour of a subject drawn from many disciplines. It is aimed at teachers with science degrees who work in schools or junior colleges and want to update their knowledge, and at science and engineering graduates seeking better prospects in life science industries. Students conduct experiments and projects under experienced scientists.
