I graduated with my masters from Swinburn University back in 2015; the SAO program. Whether it’s worth it or not I guess really comes down to what it is that you want out of it. I few want to get into full-time astronomy it is definitely not the right. Although it might be classed as a Masters of science It doesn’t hold much favour if you going for a PhD.
If you generally want to learn a lot of little bits and pieces about the universe it is quite used. When I did mine I was undecided whether or not I wanted to do a PhD but I mostly did it because I wanted to be able to do a science and the broader community.
When I started doing it it wasn’t really Designed as a full blown masters course as it was mostly been targeted towards people that are just interested in learning about space. The impression that I got was that it was largely directed mature age students are, retirees looking for something else to learn. I but the time I finished at Swinburn was looking at making it more of a Masters Course that could be a little bit more recognise scientific community. Given the way it was then I don’t think it could really do it because most of what goes into a masters should be research and although there is a lot of content most of the course isn’t focused around your research.
