Master of Engineering Science in Project Management

at University of New South Wales - Kensington Campus Australia

This intensive program provides a pathway to advanced industry opportunities, whether you have a background in design and media practice or if you wish to enter these fields from other professional backgrounds. Our degree focuses on integrated and multidisciplinary studios that will underpin the development of professional skills, capabilities and confidence needed for leadership and to dynamically support innovation in freelance, project or design, media and technology business contexts.

Studio-based courses enable you to focus on a specific area of design and digital media practice or put together a suite of courses from across design, material practice and digital media.

Any design you could dream of can be brought to reality by a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers apply scientific and engineering knowledge to develop, manufacture and operate machines and tools, which can then be used to develop things.

This degree will give you the skills and knowledge required to design and manage the construction, operation and maintenance of machines used in many industries.

Combine  Economics with applied advanced skills in Science and an Honours research project. This unique double degree will prepare you to discover and drive solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.

Economics is an influential social science that explores human behaviour and decision-making. Economists focus on the roles of incentives, resource constraints, laws, customs, and institutions. Through the Bachelor of Economics, you’ll explore how the decisions of institutions and individuals interact to determine outcomes for the economy and society.

The Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) allows you to choose from 26 majors across the physical, natural and human sciences. It gives you the flexibility to explore the areas of science you’re passionate in and undertake a supervised research project in your honours year. It will prepare you for a career at the forefront of scientific discovery and innovation.

Are you a high achiever with a keen mind wanting to specialise in mathematics? If you’re interested in the increasing range of quantitative careers in areas such as finance and environmental modelling, this degree offers a strong foundation.

This four-year degree combines advanced coursework with an honours-level research project. You’ll also choose a major to specialise in a particular subject area.

Applied Mathematics
Understand and predict real-world problems and improve their outcomes. Mathematical methods and models are employed to find solutions not only for technical and industrial problems, but also for social, biomedical and economic problems.

Pure Mathematics
Study the foundation of all mathematics. This major is concerned with discovering the patterns and structures that underlie wide areas of mathematics. Although motivated more by a search for beauty and symmetry, this area of mathematics has led to major advances in many areas of science and technology.

Advanced Statistics
Explore the methodology for drawing conclusions from data - estimating the present, predicting the future and making decisions in the face of uncertainty. Modern statistics is a rapidly evolving science where innovations in technology present exciting new opportunities for collection and analysis of huge and complex data sets.

addressing challenges associated with the social determinants of health.
This degree is designed for professionals who want to enhance their career opportunities by specialising in both public health and health services leadership and management.

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.

Human Anatomy
Study the structures of the human body. This major covers:

• Gross anatomy (form, arrangement and function of the bones, joints, muscles and internal organs)

• Histology (microscopic structure of tissues and cells)

• Embryology (development of the embryo and fetus from conception to birth)

• Neuroanatomy (organisation and functions of the brain and spinal cord)

• Biological anthropology (applying biological principles to the study of humans).
