Graduates of Griffith University's Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) degree have a competitive edge as they are equipped with practical skills, experience and attributes that employers value, coupled with highly developed research capabilities. 

You will gain a combination of technical and managerial knowledge and skills, which will provide you with a holistic approach to effectively manage information technology in organisations. You will also develop a solid grounding in the principles and practice of information technology and an in-depth knowledge of information and communication technologies and information systems. With this knowledge, you will be able to confidently manage the functional responsibility for choosing, implementing and maintaining information systems and technology within, and across, organisations.

This program is designed for graduate or professional scientists who wish to extend their skills and knowledge in clinical and environmental microbiology, bioinformatics, protein science, molecular biology and genomics and apply it in a competitive commercial environment. It is also suited to scientists wishing to become business/research managers and entrepreneurs in the exciting world of Biotechnology with applications in clinical, agriculture, food and the environment.

Engineering is a precise practice, and this double degree will arm you with the science disciplines to hone your technical precision. You'll study applied mathematics or physics and learn to balance the numbers with the art of creative and critical thinking. You'll also gain highly useful skills in mathematical modelling.

In your final year, you can enhance your employability through an industry placement. With an internationally recognised qualification, you'll be prepared for work on complex projects in Australia and overseas.

Industry and expert connections:-
What makes our engineering and science double degree stand out is the opportunity to put what you learn in the classroom into practice through work-integrated learning. We have a wide range of industry contacts and partnerships, ensuring you get to experience hands-on learning throughout your study. In your final year, you'll enhance your employability by completing a project within industry.

Graduate outcomes:-
You'll graduate with a degree accredited by the national engineering body, Engineers Australia, and depending on your specialisation, you'll also be eligible for membership with the Australian Institute of Physics or the Australian Mathematical Society. With highly-sought after qualifications in engineering and science, you'll find inspiring career opportunities in government, construction, telecommunications, mining, oil, smelting and manufacturing industries.

This degree will provide you with in-depth clinical training and offers professional experiences through participation in industry-based projects. You will be trained to undertake and accept responsibility for the array of diagnostic procedures required in clinical physiology and public health laboratories.

Forensic investigators are skilled, dedicated professionals with the ability to keep an open mind and concentrate on hard evidence. In this degree, you will explore science in real life and receive training in handling criminal casework in forensic biology and forensic chemistry.

You will develop in-depth knowledge of new forensic analysis methods and innovations, and gain valuable experience from real casework. You will practise presenting expert evidence in moot courts. You will learn from academic staff who have been called to work on projects such as the forensic identification of victims of the Asian tsunami and the Bali bombings, and who provide expert evidence in Australian courts.

In your first year, you will take core courses in biology, chemistry, molecular genetics and forensic investigation. In your second and third years, you will focus on your chosen major and continue to develop your skills in core areas.

Majors:-

• Forensic Chemistry
• Forensic Molecular Biology

Nursing is the science of professional caring and offers opportunities to promote and restore health, prevent illness and alleviate suffering. In this degree, you will develop key skills for excellent nursing care.

You will develop your skills through clinical placements across the health sector and you will have opportunities to undertake rural, remote and overseas placements.

When you combine engineering and IT, you'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to plan, manage, design and build engineering projects. You'll also develop communication, research and critical analysis skills that will make you highly employable. In fact, two of the fastest growing sectors for jobs growth are engineering and IT. With these two disciplines at its core, this double degree will set you up for a wide choice of career opportunities.

You'll develop the knowledge and practical skills in planning, management, design and build of engineering projects, with your choice of major allowing you to specialise in the area you're most interested in.

You'll also achieve a high level of core IT technical knowledge and a specialisation in either information systems or networks and security.

The Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) provides academic and pedagogical foundations for professionals who are or will be involved in work that focuses on the learning and teaching of English as a second or foreign language. The degree provides a qualification in the teaching of English in a variety of contexts with a strong focus on teaching in the Asia-Pacific region.

The program content is internationalised and intercultural, focusing on the development of a knowledge base and analytical skills that will enable graduates to operate in a range of roles involving the need to understand how second and foreign languages are learned. Much of the content of the program is also relevant to teachers of languages other than English. The course includes a research component requiring the knowledge and application of research principles and practices relating to professional work or learning in TESOL.
