Design innovative solutions to social and environmental problems around energy supply, distribution and consumption and begin a rewarding career in sustainable energy.

Immerse yourself in the latest technologies that improve energy efficiency. Learn how to use renewable resources to reduce the environmental and social impacts of conventional energy resources.

With the Master of Engineering (Sustainable Energy), taught in the heart of Melbourne, you'll learn why managing the transition towards a more sustainable energy sector is a priority for governments, the private sector and the general community.

Through your studies in this degree, you will learn to:

• Plan and effectively manage an independent project on sustainable energy topics at a professional engineering level
• Locate and critically review scientific and engineering literature and apply engineering practices and research methods to conduct sustainable energy projects and evaluate their results
• Communicate findings effectively to a professional audience

A final-year research project forms an essential part of this degree. Through this self-selected project (from a range of available topics), you will draw on not only the advanced engineering skills you have built, but also coursework around ethical, economic and social responsibility.

This degree will provide you with the foundation research skills that will support your future career as a scientist or researcher.

• Specifically, you will develop:
• communication skills
• critical thinking capability
• advanced knowledge within your chosen discipline
• knowledge of research practice and skills
• research independence and capacity for self-directed learning.
• Research experience is required for most academic and research positions, and increasingly for positions in other sectors.

In consultation with your discipline honours coordinator and your supervisor, you'll be allocated a project to develop your skills to an advanced level.

The Bachelor of Environment and Society is a step toward a career that addresses the most pressing issues of our time, including biodiversity protection, food and water security, corporate responsibility, resource depletion, and climate change.

Lecturers and academics all have strong industry relationships and experience, and the learning environment simulates professional practice within the writing, editing and publishing industries. The studios comprise an internship day, weekend intensives, weekly face-to-face seminars and student-directed learning.

The Master of Interior Design will provide you with an opportunity to position yourself in relation to current interior design practice through collaboration with clients, industry and a network of peers.

With an emphasis on ideas and a design-led approach to research and experimentation, the knowledge and skills you develop in this course will enable you to work in a range of practices, and to engage interior design as an agent of social and cultural change.

Graduates of this course will be highly effective team contributors with strong communication and technical skills. You will learn how to be a valuable contributor through the process of developing a collective response to real industry briefs. You will engage with clients (encompassing commercial, institutional, civic and social organisations) and industry practice partners (interior design and associated design practices) together with the student cohort on live projects and challenges.

With a strong focus on design challenges affecting the broader Australasian region, you will also have opportunities to undertake global intensives to locations within Asia.

Develop the skills and knowledge to be a leader in business information technology.

The Master of Business Information Technology produces ethically and socially responsible professionals ready to innovate and lead in the changing business IT environment.
