Research masters' degrees at the University of Otago are research-based and are designed to equip you either to move into employment or to advance seamlessly to a doctoral study programme. This type of programme is undertaken by completion of a thesis.

A research master's involves conducting independent research. Study is available in a wide range of subject areas.

Each programme has its own specific entry criteria. If you are interested in undertaking a master's degree by research (thesis) only, contact the relevant teaching department.
