These programmes encourage critical thinking, develop analytical skills and broaden students’ understanding of New Zealand contexts.  The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) is a 180-point, coursework postgraduate degree. A candidate would normally be a graduate but the degree is also open to those with other relevant qualifications.
