This program also provides opportunities for you to articulate into Masters degrees in health professions.

In your first year, you will be introduced to the basic sciences underpinning biomedical science. In your second and third years, you will explore more advanced aspects of the biomedical and clinical sciences, including genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, anatomy, physiology, immunology, microbiology, infectious disease, pharmacology and neuroscience. You will learn through hands-on, laboratory-based training in the biomedical sciences.

This double degree is focused on the future, combining a cutting-edge blend of computer science and engineering. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) gives you the opportunity to make your mark on major global systems and infrastructure or be at the leading-edge of local urban projects. You'll be involved in hands-on projects from year one, planning and creating clever solutions to real challenges.

Your engineering skills are complemented with the future-proofed skills of computer science. You'll gain a broad knowledge of the subject learning the principles and concepts behind computer science problem-solving. For example, using modelling methods and processes to understand core problems and designing solutions that match.

Industry and expert connections:-
From year one, you'll learn from industry experts and like-minded teachers. Hands-on experience is key to this double degree, and in your final year you can enhance your employment opportunities through an industry-based project or placement.

Graduate outcomes:-
The future is promising for dual computer science and engineering professionals. With these complementary degrees, you'll be prepared for engineering roles across varied industries that require design, innovation and creative development applied with the latest technology.

Graduates will be eligible to register to practice as a Physiotherapist within Australia following accreditation. Students will undertake biomedical, physical and behavioural science courses as well as physiotherapy academic and clinical courses. Before graduation, students will be required to demonstrate physiotherapy knowledge and skills required for entry-level clinical physiotherapy practice.

This program provides an innovative, student-centred and employability-focused curriculum with a strong emphasis on client-centred and evidence based-practice as well as experiential and inter-professional learning.

The study of nutrition and dietetics focuses on the food we eat in relation to the treatment and prevention of a range of important diseases. Students in this program will initially study fundamental health sciences (e.g. anatomy, physiology, biochemistry) before completing more advanced study of human nutrition. The final stage of the program involves practicum placements in hospitals and other health facilities. This program prepares students at the appropriate tertiary level to meet Dietitians Australia, national competency standards for entry into the profession as a dietitian. Students who graduate from this program will be able establish careers in either clinical, public health or food service nutrition. Increased graduate opportunities exist for private practitioners with the recent introduction of Medicare items for services provided to patients with chronic disease and within the corporate nutrition sector.

If you are a graduate from a non-education background, perhaps seeking a career change, and wish to teach in secondary school settings, this new degree will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge you need to register with the QCT.

You will learn the theory and practice of teaching, as well as about the characteristics of learners and teachers and the social contexts of education. The degree includes education studies, curriculum studies in two nominated teaching areas, and professional experience in secondary school settings.

This new degree brings together technical and practical skills in the fields of intelligent digital technologies. You will learn the fundamentals of ICT problem solving and high level programming skills, for application in cutting edge fields such as the Internet of Things (IoTs), robotics, app and web development, big data analysis, and virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications.

In your first year you will learn about trends in emerging technologies, coding and human computer interaction. Choose between two majors, IoTs and Robotics or Programming for Visualisation and Entertainment, or undertake both majors. If you choose a single major you will have the flexibility to undertake electives of your choice. In your final year of studies, you will bring together your skills and knowledge to form Intelligent Digital Technologies for industry through a work integrated learning course.

If you're passionate about contemporary design opportunities and designing for a sustainable future, this degree will equip you with the creative and technical skills and insights to rise to future design challenges.
