Electrical engineers keep the power running for businesses and our communities. Electrical engineering skills are needed in a wide range of industries and you could find yourself working in a lab, on a building project, at a power station or in a workshop.

The Electrical Engineering major equips you with the skills to design, implement, and maintain power and utility systems. You also learn about electrical power engineering circuits, process control systems and programable logic displays. In your final year you specialise in building services, power or control courses.

In the Interpreting major you learn to recognise cross-cultural implications for interpreting, and the ethical and professional responsibilities of an interpreter.

Interpreting is so much more than just repeating someone’s words in a different language. A good interpreter can understand nuances and cultural appropriateness, and convey levels of formality across a range of professions and industries. The challenge is to do justice to every situation.

You practise interpreting consecutively and simultaneously between English and another language. You explore the effects of intonation and the use of idioms in spoken English. Throughout your studies you also become familiar with interpreting for legal, healthcare or business settings. These skills will serve you well in our increasingly multicultural local and global communities.

In the Marine Science major in the Bachelor of Science you explore marine sciences, including the biology of fish and aquatic plants and marine invertebrates.

With 71 percent of the earth’s surface covered by water, marine life is critical to our existence. It’s one of the most valuable sources of food, medicine and raw materials. New discoveries are made daily in marine biology and ecology, making this an exciting and dynamic career choice with endless potential.

This major covers Marine Science (the scientific study of organisms in the ocean) and marine ecology (how marine organisms interact with each other and the environment). Field trips are a key part of this major you frequently go out on boats to investigate marine life or learn about aquaculture techniques, coastal processes,oceanography, management and conservation theories and practices.

New media channels are emerging and rivalling traditional ways of going to market.Integrated shopping experiences extend from the shop floor to Facebook, Twitter, email marketing, texting, television, radio, direct mail, catalogues etc. Businesses need staff who are confident and competent at taking an interactive,omni-channel approach to business solutions and who know how to identify customers and connect with them in meaningful ways.

Organisations of all sizes, types and industries need managers who can deal with the myriad demands of leadership in the modern environment. Profitability, sustainability, innovation, social responsibility, stakeholder relations, market share and resource utilisation are just some of the issues that managers must face, which make this a stimulating and challenging career direction.

A key aspect of management is the ability to get the best out of people, to motivate them and integrate their own professional development with the requirements of the business. This calls for extremely well-developed interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence, allied to a strong sense of commercial awareness.

Security of computer systems and networks is a major concern for organisations and individuals. The Master of Cyber Security and Digital Forensics addresses the need for professionals in this field.

With the rapid expansion of the internet, cybercrime and malicious software deployments are on the increase. There is a need for security professionals who can protect assets and information by securing networks and computer systems. The Master of Cyber Security and Digital Forensics also develops skills in discovering and recording digital forensic evidence of crimes and malicious behaviour by extracting data from networks, hard drives, cell phones and other digital devices.
