Bachelor of Information Technology in Networking and Cybersecurity

at University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus Australia

Electrical engineers are needed wherever electrically powered tools, devices or systems need to be designed, manufactured or maintained. These systems include those that:

• generate, transmit or distribute electrical energy
• acquire, process or deliver information, and
• automate processes and deliver services.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As your studies progress, you will learn about analog electronics, digital electronics, software development, embedded systems, computer networking, electrical machines, signal processing, robotics, control systems, power systems and renewable energy, and telecommunications.

The Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science has been developed in response to industry demand. Along with the graduate certificate and master, it has been designed to meet the growing demand for skilled resource management practitioners.

What you'll learn

You will develop the skills to understand and manage resources within a sustainability framework. Your courses will cover areas such as ecological economics, community partnerships and natural resource management. You will also take three advanced, sustainability-focused electives.
 

In the Master of Engineering (Engineering Management) program, you will learn the latest theories and professional skills related to engineering management and apply them to the core areas, covering project management, supply chain management, quality management, operation management and resource management. You will also be immersed in practical industry operation procedures to suit becoming an engineering manager as a future career path.

What you Learn

In the first year of the program students gain an appreciation of various operational aspects of managing the operations of an engineering organisation. This includes studies in areas such as total quality management, research data analysis, principles of project management, engineering economic analysis, sustainable development and design practice, intelligent production systems, and leadership with elective courses in energy and society, robotics and automation and human resource management, strategic procurement and others.

In the second year of the program students undertake more advanced studies which emphasise the strategic management of engineering operations. This includes consideration of issues relating to supply chain management, resource management, project planning con control, and operation management. The program provides an integrative management of these various strategic aspects of engineering operations.

Mechanical engineering is a diverse field that can be applied right across industry – from robotics and automation to manufacturing, defence technology, aerospace, mining, construction and energy.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) will see you learn to engineer solutions to everyday challenges. You will discover the latest in machinery design, advanced materials, manufacturing technologies and sustainable energy systems.

What you Learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As your studies progress you will develop advanced knowledge and skills in dynamics and controls, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, mechanical system design and digital prototyping, and advanced materials and renewable energy technology.

Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

At least half of the honours year will involve a major project. You will take the lead as an engineer in a project environment, working with industry, a government organisation, or an academic research area. There is also the option to do a full-semester internship.

The Bachelor of Primary Education (Honours) is a four-year professional degree solely focused on teaching that will equip you with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to thrive as a contemporary educator in junior primary and primary settings.

As well as real-world experience, you will be given the opportunity to fine-tune your learning with a primary specialism, focusing on a particular Learning Area aligned with the Australian Curriculum:

• Arts
• Design and Technology
• English
• Health and Physical Education
• Humanities and Social Sciences
• Languages
• Mathematics
• Religious Education (Catholic Studies)
• Science

With ongoing growth in games and entertainment, IT professionals with the expertise to build highly visual systems are in demand, with the Bachelor of Information Technology (Games and Entertainment Design) designed to meet that need.

What you'll learn

During your first year of study you will build a strong foundation in IT fundamentals, including networking, database development, programming, and systems analysis and design, before specialising in game development, which will see you build skills in computer graphics programming, multimedia design and information visualisation.

Topics include:

• Unreal game engine
• Unity game engine
• Game asset creation
• Game design
• Mobile game development
• 3D graphical production 

Construction Managers supervise various design and construction projects from beginning to end. This degree will prepare you to pursue a career in this competitive and highly sought-after field.

What you'll learn

In your first year, you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your civil engineering major. From the third year onwards you will commence construction management courses, such as Construction Scheduling and Advanced Construction Management.
 

What you'll Learn

The Master of Information Technology (Cyber Security) has been designed to develop foundational, discipline specific knowledge in IT in your first semester of study. From there, you will complete courses that develop your knowledge in governance, risk management and compliance, business practices, network security and cyber criminal behaviour, before completing advanced topics in:

• security operations
• security architectures
• enterprise and cyber physical security, and
• cyber law and digital evidence.

Make your dreams of becoming a pilot reality with an innovative aviation degree. The Bachelor of Aviation (Flight) is the starting point for all international students wanting to fly.

What you'll learn

You will undertake general studies in aviation including an introduction to human factors and safety management systems. You will do Flight Training Theory 1 and 2, taught by instructors from the flight training provider. These courses prepare you for CASA Commercial Pilot Licence theory examinations.

As your studies progress, you will explore more advanced and theoretical areas including meteorology, law, human factors and aspects of the flight and performance of large aircraft systems. You will also study communication and aviation management. Your technical studies will include aerodynamics, heavy aircraft systems, navigation and risk and safety management.

Flight Experience is part of this degree. If you don’t take up Flight Experience, this course will be replaced by two electives.

This innovative Masters degree will give you a broad knowledge of IT disciplines and a solid foundation in business practices.

Taught by world-class lecturers, researchers and practitioners, you’ll learn about IT stakeholder engagement, business intelligence, business systems analysis and modelling, and the day-to-day operation of information systems.

What you Learn

You will study an industry relevant blend of business, IT and information systems course to develop a solid cross-disciplinary base of skills required for business analyst roles.

Towards the end of your study you’ll complete a major project where you’ll work in a structured project team, getting practical experience in contemporary IT techniques and practices.
