With the exception of the Master of Science (Agricultural Engineering), which is offered from the Pietermaritzburg Campus, all other specialisations are offered from the Howard College Campus. The Master of Science in Engineering prepares independent researchers in the different disciplines of engineering who can contribute to the generation of knowledge at an advanced level by conducting original research that addresses complex context-based issues, under the guidance of the research supervisor. The research project will culminate in the production of a research report in the form of a dissertation in the traditional format or by publication.
Through the research component, students will engage in independent, original research that contributes to the development of innovative engineering solutions and advances the body of knowledge within the discipline. In this process, they will develop a critical awareness of the practical, industrial, and societal contexts in which engineering technologies are applied.
