The Master of Science in Natural and Applied Sciences is a postgraduate specialization degree that aims at consolidating and deepening the knowledge and expertise in the Physics, Chemistry and Biology disciplines, and to develop student’s capacity to conduct supervised research of an applied nature as well as ensuring sustainable use of natural resources. The programme is purposefully designed to enable students to evaluate and apply natural sciences theories, techniques and models to solve complex societal problems in the specialized Applied areas of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

A candidate will be considered for admission into the PhD in Statistics degree programme if he/she is having a Master of Science degree in Pure or Applied Statistics from NUST or an equivalent qualification in a related discipline from a recognised institution at NQF Level 9 with evidence of a supervised research.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Health Sciences programme will be by pure research (full thesis) registrable at NQF level 10. It aims at developing skilled and competent individuals with the ability to conceptualise, develop and conduct applied research in the field of Health Sciences. The programme builds on previously acquired theoretical and practical knowledge at NQF level 9 and other industrial experience of students to investigate and develop innovative ideas and products to solve problems in the field of Health Sciences.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Natural Resource Science aimed at equipping students with deepened knowledge and research skills in their specialisation area by creating new knowledge that will bring solutions and implement new ideas to the Natural Resource Science. The degree focuses on the broad, deepening and research-based learning in the area of Natural Resource Science.
