Master of Science - Wine Science (MSC-WNSCI-MSC)

About the course

The Master of Science (MSc) programme enables you to pursue advanced study in your area of interest with the opportunity to work on independent research. Studying for an MSc is an opportunity for committed scientists to focus on a relevant area of interest or practice and pursue an advanced qualification. While a taught masters will provide you with specialist training in your chosen field, a research masters will develop advanced research skills, working alongside Faculty of Science researchers - many of whom are major contributors in their field. New Zealand has an excellent reputation for winemaking. If you want to be a part of this exciting industry, postgraduate study in Wine Science will give you an understanding of the science of winemaking (oenology) and help prepare you for a career in this field. You’ll be based at the beautiful Goldwater Wine Science Centre on Waiheke Island, a 40-minute ferry trip from Auckland city, and you’ll get hands-on experience in our winemaking facilities and in the vineyard, alongside opportunities to work with professional winemakers.Study Options - 120-point MSc and 240-point MSc
