The M.Sc. in Food and Agro-Processing Technology (FAPT) is a professional programme designed to produce knowledgeable and highly skilled technical graduates who are on the cutting edge of innovation in the Food and Agro-Processing sectors. Graduates will gain a competitive advantage for employment in both the private and public sectors, or may be motivated to persue entrepreneurial opportunities.
The M.Sc. in Mathematics if offered through the department of Mathematics and covers areas of specification such as:
Stochastic Differential and Difference Equations and Applications, including stochastic modeling and numerical analysis. Modelling Physiological Fluid Flows Differential Equations and Applications, Theory of Operators; Mathematical Physics: General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory in curved spacetimes, Differential Geometry, Noncommutative geometry inspired solutions of Einstein field equations Numerical Methods Statistics
The M.Sc. in Natural Resource Management (NRM) is offered through the Centre for Environmental Management in the Faculty of Science of Technology. The programme promotes effective management of environmental resources through research, graduate training and community outreach. It has responded to national and regional needs in Research, Postgraduate Training, Dissemination of Information and the promotion of Public Education, and Consultancy Services.

The Department of Chemistry, through the OESH Programme, offers the following Graduate programmes:
-M.Sc. Occupational & Environmental Safety and Health (face to face, intense delivery mostly during evenings, weekends and holidays) -M.Phil./Ph.D. Occupational & Environmental Safety and Health (Research degrees)
At the end of this programme students will be able to:
1. Identify Caribbean terrestrial and aquatic communities and the processes which make these systems unique.
2. Appropriately use GIS, remote sensing, modelling as well as other environmental tools in the study of the environment.
3. Outline environmental management strategies that integrate biological, political, legal, social and ethical issues as well as design appropriate interventions to conserve threatened species and environments.
On successful completion of the programme, students will be knowledgeable about the following: 1. Production systems, productivity and propagation techniques; 2. The influence of soil and climate on plant growth, production systems, and pest and disease development; 3. The significance of weeds, diseases and pests in plant production systems; 4. Management of weeds, diseases and pests; techniques for evaluating the significance of various factors affecting plant production and productivity;
