Sensory science involves using senses such as smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing to systematically gather information about the world. It may also include learning how these senses work and what applications exist for the discipline.

A Master of Science is an educational program that requires students to complete coursework, hands-on training, and a research paper in order to earn the degree. With an MSc, students have the option of specializing their degree in a chosen field or concentration.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
