You will study a range of core and technical courses including network infrastructure, security governance, web and cloud security, and cybersecurity risk and compliance. You will also complete two capstone courses:

Security Architecture: apply cybersecurity defence strategies and security testing techniques to a complex IT environment and develop presentation methods for communicating technical topics to a lay audience.

Professional Project: work in a structured project team, gaining practical experience in contemporary cybersecurity techniques and practices.

This industry-relevant postgraduate qualification is for students who have already completed a three-year bachelor degree and would like to increase their employment prospects with a teaching qualification specialising in secondary education. The curriculum is solely focused on the education of children from Year Seven to Year 12.

Practical learning is a major component and you will complete 60 days of professional experience placements, starting in the first year.

What you'll learn

This degree has been designed to develop skilled, committed and flexible secondary school educators. The focus is on practical learning and you will gain the skills needed to teach across the core curriculum learning areas in schools from Year Seven to Year 12. There are four major study areas:

• Curriculum studies
• Professional experience
• Education studies
• Pedagogy

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.
 

Learn water and environmental engineering theories to support our all-important waterways, resources and infrastructure. In this degree you will develop the skills specific to the water sector of civil engineering.

In this degree you’ll develop sophisticated skills in engineering research methods and project management which you will use on a major civil engineering design project, with industry representatives as your clients. You will also complete a master thesis.

What you'll learn

You will learn advanced water and environmental engineering, developing the skills to:

• apply and synthesise water and environmental engineering theories in solving practical cases

• create and design models to be used in areas such as water resources and water quality management 

• adapt hydro-environmental data analysis methods at advanced level 

• integrate modelling technology and consolidate GIS applications in forming comprehensive water resources management systems 

• develop advanced skills to communicate with water and environmental related professionals 

Software engineers are engaged in the full life cycle of software development, from the initial planning stage, through to costing, designing, developing, testing and maintaining large and complex systems. They understand how software systems are designed and built, and require effective communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills, as well as advanced technical knowledge. 

What you'll learn

During your first year of study you will gain a solid foundation in networking, database development, programming fundamentals and systems requirements and design, before focusing on your software engineering specialty that will you see you studying:

• Operating Systems and Tool Chains
• Design Patterns with C++
• Agile Development and Governance
• Cloud and Concurrent Programming
• Secure Software Development
• Advanced Data Structures
• Systems Architecture

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

This degree is designed to produce job-ready graduates to meet this industry need, and to fill the growing range of work opportunities in the market. Successful maths and data scientists draw on skills from a range of complementary disciplines, so this degree offers a balanced mix of mathematics, information technology and data science. In your final year you’ll have the chance to complete an industry-based project to experience real-world challenges and gain workplace experience.

What you'll learn

In your first year you’ll study core subjects in maths and IT. You will focus on building your mathematical and programming skills with courses that include calculus, statistical methods, fundamentals of programming, and databases.

You will then move into your applied data science studies. You’ll study cross-disciplinary areas such as web development, data structures and mathematical communication, and mathematical modelling.

In your final year you’ll combine study and hands-on experience with courses in programming and networking, decision making and analytics. You will also complete either an industry-based Maths Clinic project or a major project to strengthen your abilities in research, analysis, and interpretation of data.

The only master’s degree of its type in Australia, this program will prepare you to perform design, cybersecurity, research and development, and analytics roles with government agencies, defence contractors or IoT companies. It may also lead to a career in research, with a PhD in space, telecommunications, software, systems or satellite engineering, or the engineering of secure emerging technologies.

This program is suitable for students with an engineering background in areas such as:

• Telecommunications Engineering
• Electronics and Communication Engineering
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering
• Computer Science and Engineering with a significant component of Engineering Mathematics

What you'll Learn

In your first year you’ll study specialist courses covering topics such as big data concepts, systems engineering, critical infrastructure and control system security, cryptography and data protection, and digital communications.

In second year you’ll take further specialist cyber engineering and telecommunications courses including telecommunications and device security, statistical programming for data science, information theory and coding and mobile communications and wireless access.

Also key to this degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your minor thesis.
