Master of Commerce in Extension

at University of New South Wales - Kensington Campus Australia

This degree is designed for students who are passionate about both the Law and Engineering, and are interested in learning about the connection between the two.

The Law degree aims to develop graduates who have excellent analytical skills, a capacity for scholarly research, effective oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to personal and professional development, ethical practice and social responsibility.

In Engineering, you can choose from one of 18 specialised disciplines, ranging from traditional areas such as construction and civil engineering to growing fields like photovoltaics and solar energy engineering.

Medical science is the foundation that the practice of medicine is built on. This degree delves into how the human body functions and responds to disease and drug treatments. It incorporates facets of several scientific disciplines to provide you with an extensive understanding of the human body.

The Bachelor of Medical Science explores:

• The structure and chemistry of the cells that make up living organisms (cell & molecular biology and biochemistry)
• The structure and function of the human body (anatomy and physiology)
• The general processes leading to disease (pathology)
• The role of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms in disease (microbiology)
• Drugs which are used to cure human diseases (pharmacology)
• The way in which our form and function is inherited (genetics)
• The processes of development from the fertilised ovum (embryology)
• The natural defences of the body (immunology)
• The structure and function of the brain (neuroscience).
• This degree provides the basis for a career in biomedical research and is also an appropriate first degree if you’re planning to progress to graduate medical or paramedical degrees.

Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology is a marriage of biochemistry, microbiology and cell biology. It will have an increasingly important role to play in many aspects of modern medicine, genetics, evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, biotechnology and genomics.

UNSW Master of Engineering Science (Water Engineering: Catchments to Coast), is a two-year full-time or part-time equivalent postgraduate degree at Australia’s top engineering faculty. This degree is for students who’ve completed a recognised undergraduate degree or have relevant professional experience and want to re-train, specialise or deepen their knowledge in the field.  At UNSW Engineering we’re focused on working with and harnessing natural resources to create human solutions that benefit both humanity and the environment.

This degree is designed for practising Water Engineers and graduates pursuing career in large-scale water engineering. You’ll develop knowledge and skills in the full cycle of water in natural and engineered systems. You can tailor this degree to your own passion and career aspirations as you undertake an extensive research project in a specific area of interest to you. Through this project you’ll learn valuable skills in project planning and management and the critical analysis, interpretation and communication of results.

In this postgraduate degree you’ll develop advanced analysis and design skills from industry leaders in areas of large-scale Water Engineering such as:

• Surface water hydrology
• Urban hydrology and stormwater management
• Catchment and water resources modelling
• Hydrodynamics of rivers and estuaries
• Groundwater investigations
• Estuary and port engineering
• Coastal and marine engineering

UNSW’s Bachelor of Commerce/Arts is a double degree that will equip you with business experience and expertise, combined with the creativity, analytical and critical thinking skills that come with an arts degree. Both degrees offer flexibility, allowing you to shape your degree to match your ambitions and interests.

The Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) has been designed with consultation from industry to set you up for lifelong employability. By combining your BCom with a Bachelor of Arts, you can choose from a diverse range of majors and subjects in the arts, humanities and social sciences. You'll develop an in-depth knowledge and breadth of understanding, gaining the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct independent research.

You’ll graduate with a unique combination of skills and knowledge that will prepare you to adapt and thrive in the careers of the future.

Financial technology (FinTech) (Major)
In the past few years, financial technology has been a hot topic at industry conferences both in Australia and worldwide. This major will get you in on the ground floor of this rapidly evolving area. When you study FinTech, you’ll learn about these innovative technologies, as you also also learn the foundations of problem-solving for business success – setting you up with a set of skills that you can adapt in diverse roles and industries.

Do you love using math to solve problems? Are you passionate about technology? This double degree builds the analytical skills needed for better business decisions. Use mathematical analysis to make better financial decisions, combined with knowledge of technological solutions in analytics, programming and digital transformation. Graduate career-ready with professional experiences built into your studies.

Key features

• Two degrees in only four years
• Professional development courses and experiences
• Recognised by industry bodies including Actuaries Institute, and Society of Actuaries
• Accreditation available from the Australian Computer Society (ACS) and SAS  
• International work/study opportunities are also available

Everything we use is made of materials, yet only a handful of these materials occur naturally. All the rest have been microscopically engineered originally by nature, but increasingly by materials engineers/scientists. The Master of Materials Technology is the leading Australian postgraduate degree for those looking to pursue a career in this field.

Your study will include both a coursework component (75%) and a research component (25%). This degree covers a broad spectrum of materials science and engineering, emphasising the application of the basic sciences to the understanding of the structure, properties and processing of materials. This program is suitable for graduates with science, engineering, technology or related backgrounds.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts/Bachelor of Arts is a four-year double degree that develops your worldview and defines a life purpose suited to your passions and skills. Immerse in a creative practice while challenging your assumptions and tackling real-world problems.  

Explore what fascinates you and prepare to think differently about global issues like climate change, human rights, and the ethical future of technology. Blend your enhanced understanding of the world with distinct creative capabilities in animation and moving image, art theory, music, or visual arts.  

Make your difference with industry-crossing skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, effective communication, and research. You'll build extensive creative skills and knowledge, learning from experts in practical and theoretical classes. And with solid opportunities for industry connections, you'll develop your career throughout the entire degree.
