Studies in psychology
What drives human behaviour? Psychology is a science that aims to understand the causes of psychological disorders. It investigates your interactions with others, learning and memory, and ability to cope with pressure. Understand yourself and others better with analytical thinking skills and scientific methods learned from leading academics.

Fascinated by technology? Interested in the rules that businesses or governments make for us as individuals? This double degree gives you statistical analysis skills to make better decisions in business and government policy, combined with critical skills in technology, mathematics and engineering. Explore artificial intelligence, security engineering, programming and analytics. Graduate career-ready with professional experiences built into your studies.

Key features

The UNSW Master of Applied Linguistics is a two-year full-time postgraduate degree that will prepare you to develop linguistic knowledge for cross-cultural communication in diverse professional, educational and interdisciplinary settings.

You'll graduate equipped to work in a range of fields, from helping migrant communities, to opening global opportunities for others through language acquisition and skilled communication. 

The UNSW Master of Public Relations & Advertising/Master of Design combines two postgraduate degrees over two or three years full-time. You’ll gain a unique combination of strategic communication skills and design practice, as well as a deep conceptual knowledge of media theory and design research.

The Master of Public Relations and Advertising/Design dual award is ideal for industry professionals from advertising or design seeking to advance their career, as well as career-changers wanting to enter vibrant and rapidly evolving industries. Graduates of this program are well-rounded communication professionals known for creativity, design thinking and entrepreneurship. 

The UNSW Bachelor of Construction Management and Property is a three-year degree when studied full time. Equipping you with the skills and connections to turn your passions into a tangible and meaningful career, this degree is one of Australia’s most respected in its field.

Throughout the world, our most iconic structures wouldn’t exist without inspired planning and execution. Complex construction projects need leaders who can meet the demands of a constantly evolving industry.

During your study, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge needed for the management of property development, construction sites, projects, and quantity surveying. We place a strong emphasis on construction and property economics and management skills, including cost, time, human resources, organisational behaviour, risk management and information technology.

As a Biomedical Engineer, you’ll help create new technologies that improve disease diagnosis, find new and better ways of patient monitoring, revolutionise medical treatment and improve the quality of life for people with life-threatening or debilitating diseases and conditions.

You’ll gain the expertise to enact change in influential areas of human health, applying engineering principles to develop technologies and solutions in a range of healthcare-related fields that improve human lives, including:

• Medical devices
• Implantable bionics
• Drug-delivery system
• Medical imaging and radiotherapy
• Orthopaedic devices
• Robotic surgery
• Cell and tissue engineering
• Physical rehabilitation

This unique field brings together many engineering disciplines, including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering and chemical engineering.

Designed for students with a medical, biological science, physical science or engineering background this degree consolidates and specialises your knowledge in biomedical engineering.

This double degree is for students who want to pursue a career in the related disciplines of materials engineering and chemical engineering. Where materials scientists concern themselves mainly with the underlying science of high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, chemical engineers focus on turning raw materials into useful, marketable products from fertilisers, drugs and plastics, to paper, paint and food. By studying both degrees, you will learn foundational theory and practical skills that will put you at the forefront of development and innovation.

Engineers develop practical solutions to technical and environmental problems by using science and mathematics. Through scientific discoveries engineers meet societal and consumer needs.

Engineers work in a range of roles across all different types of industries, from civil engineering to environmental, computer science to petroleum engineering – the possibilities are endless. The type of engineer you’ll become often depends on the specialisation you choose in this degree. This degree offers 19 engineering specialisations across different engineering disciplines.

In this degree you’ll gain a solid background in mathematics, natural sciences and computing that’ll prepare you to learn knowledge and skills in an engineering discipline. You’ll graduate with the technical knowledge, skills and attributes required to succeed as a professional engineer.

In this degree, you'll immerse yourself in the manufacture and use of solar cells, which capture and convert sunlight into electricity. Courses in technology development, manufacturing, quality control, reliability, policy, system design and more will prepare you for varied, high-level work in an industry that is vital for humanity's future.
Your study looks beyond the sun as a source of energy, encompassing a wider range of technologies and their uses. It also addresses the important areas of solar architecture and the design of energy-efficient buildings and appliances. To get you work-ready, you'll apply your skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

Computer engineering is an engineering discipline that combines computer science and electronic engineering to develop computer hardware and software. As a computer engineer you’ll become a leader in innovation and development of new technologies that impact the world.

Computer Engineers don’t just work with personal computer systems. You’ll learn about embedded systems for vehicles and operating systems for consumer electronics, telecommunications, medical equipment and more.

In this degree you’ll learn about the structure and integrated design of hardware and software components within computer systems, by combining elements of electrical engineering with computer science methods.

Taught by leading researchers in the field of Computer Science and Engineering, you’ll be challenged to engineer innovative solutions required for your future career.
