The Master of Veterinary Science (MVSc) is a Research Higher Degree which can be undertaken in any of the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences' research programs. It is designed for students to develop advanced skills in carrying out independent and sustained research. Candidates are expected to meet regularly with their supervisor(s) and to present their work in the Faculty’s research seminar program. They are assisted to participate in relevant national or international conferences. A thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the degree.
The thesis should demonstrate a critical application of specialist knowledge and make an independent contribution to existing scholarship in the area of research.
The normal length of an MVSc thesis is 30,000-40,000 words, exclusive of words in tables, maps bibliographies and appendices. Footnotes are included as part of the word limit.
