Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Data Science (Dual Degree)

at Griffith University - Nathan Campus Australia

The Bachelor of Aviation is a two-year, accelerated degree allowing students to progress more quickly into a flying career.

You will be introduced to the sciences underpinning the theory and practice of aviation. You will also study courses in areas such as navigation, safety management systems and the human factors in aviation. Through the Bachelor of Aviation, you will develop the skills needed for lifelong learning in the evolving aviation environment.

The Bachelor of Aviation together with self-funded flight training will allow graduates to be ready to work in the aviation industry as a commercial pilot.

The Master of International Business/Master International Relations provides a unique opportunity for students to gain two postgraduate awards at Masters level over a two year period.

Students will diversify their knowledge and skills by studying across complementary discipline areas, graduating with a clear industry advantage. In particular, graduates will have an appreciation about the integration of strategies, business processes and information system.

This program will appeal to those looking for an innovative, research informed and practical program, that is designed to meet the changing needs of business, community and government enterprises. Equipped with current knowledge and practical information system expertise coupled with the ability gain a critical appreciation of the role and practice of supply network management in local and global business.

With globalisation, many domestic areas of public policy have come to incorporate an international dimension. The priorities and agendas of domestic politics are increasingly shaped and contextualised by events, pressures and constraints at the regional and global levels. For postgraduate students of international relations, the addition of a public policy component will equip them with the professional knowledge, analytical tools and organisational skills to significantly enhance their graduate outcomes, whether in government, international organisations or domestic/international non-government organisations. For international policy practitioners and AusAID scholarship recipients, the program will develop student's academic skills, professional capacities and knowledge in world affairs, while also teaching best practice in public policy environments.

As factories and other engineering environments transform into an industrial Internet of Things, the ability to analyse vast quantities of data to extract relevant intelligence is an increasingly and highly sought-after skill.

Data science provides a broad knowledge of the exploration, gathering, manipulation, visualisation, automation and interpretation of data using digital platforms and can be applied to enable real-time performance optimisation.

This double degree will enable you to provide data-based insights based on your specific expertise in engineering, to improve decision-making, reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

You'll gain knowledge in your chosen engineering major and skills to access the insights large data sets provide and lead the way in translating data into actionable information, including manipulation, modelling, interpretation and visualisation, using a range of digital platforms and tools.

In your final year, you can enhance your employability through an industry placement to gain practical experience and valuable industry networks.

You'll also graduate with a degree accredited by the national engineering body (Engineers Australia) and be fully equipped to work in local, national and international sectors.

When you combine engineering and IT, you'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to plan, manage, design and build engineering projects. You'll also develop communication, research and critical analysis skills that will make you highly employable. In fact, two of the fastest growing sectors for jobs growth are engineering and IT. With these two disciplines at its core, this double degree will set you up for a wide choice of career opportunities.

You'll develop the knowledge and practical skills in planning, management, design and build of engineering projects, with your choice of major allowing you to specialise in the area you're most interested in.

You'll also achieve a high level of core IT technical knowledge and a specialisation in either information systems or networks and security.

This degree will provide you with a deep understanding of policy, politics and power in the domestic and international spheres. You'll learn about political movements and institutions, processes of law making, diplomacy and global politics. You'll explore how democracy thrives or struggles to survive, and the strategies authoritarian leaders increasingly use to maintain their grip on power, among a range of other exciting topics in Political Science and International Relations.

In your second and third years, you'll gain valuable specialised knowledge by completing one or two majors in International Relations, Political Science and Public Policy; or Security, Conflict and Human Rights. Throughout your studies, you'll gain the skills and training needed for pursuing your own career pathway, including taking dedicated employability courses and having opportunities to complete a work placement, field study trip, or parliamentary internship.

Graduate Outcomes
You'll be prepared for a career across a diverse range of industries, equipped with skills in research, analysis, communication, leadership and critical thinking. You will be a mobile, informed and engaged global citizen, ready to make a difference within any field that you choose. With its emphasis on critical thinking and information literacy, this degree also lays the groundwork for further study in research.

To be awarded a Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) degree, one additional year of study is required following the successful completion of the Bachelor of Nursing.

Graduates of Griffith University's Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) degree have a competitive edge as they are equipped with practical skills, experience and attributes that employers value, coupled with highly developed research capabilities. 

This Masters program covers essential areas of human resource management including strategy and HR, evidence-based HRM, organisational change, international and comparative HRM, recruitment and selection, and performance and reward management. You will gain a critical appreciation of the role and practice of human resource management in local and global business.

This program will further develop and deepen your understanding of key policy formulation, negotiation and implementation matters pertaining to the employment relationship in dynamic contexts. It encompasses workplace and institutional practices and strategies, employment law, negotiation and dispute resolution, managing equity and diversity, workplace health and safety, managing rewards and performance and employment relations strategy. It will deepen your understanding of the management of employment relations.

The Graduate Diploma of Finance is a flexible program designed for students from non-finance backgrounds who would like to fill a gap in their knowledge in finance and investments.

As consumer demand for sustainable products and services continues to grow, it has never been more important for businesses to understand the impacts and benefits of sustainable practices. In this double degree, you will learn about key sustainability issues, such as energy, water and waste management, and develop an appreciation of the interrelationships between environmental sustainability and business success.
