Master of Science (MSc) in Earth Sciences

Program Available at Hamilton and Tauranga Campus

Study an MSc at Waikato University and you will enjoy more lab and fieldwork, more one-on-one time with top academics and access to world-class research equipment. Our great industry contacts will also mean exciting collaborations with local, national and international companies and organizations.

This is an ideal degree for students wanting to improve their career opportunities and seeking a qualification that is potentially not so research-heavy.
The University of Waikato is uniquely placed to offer a thorough grounding in all aspects of the Earth Sciences. We are situated close to both North Island coasts, a short drive from the active Taupo Volcanic Zone, at the heart of the richest New Zealand farming region, and have New Zealand's longest river on our doorstep.

We are a leader in teaching and research related to the Earth’s environment and offer you a learning experience that goes beyond the laboratory and lecture room - and out into the world.
