Bachelor of Aviation in Management

at University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus Australia

Civil and structural engineers are responsible for the infrastructure and resources that keep our cities, towns and rural areas functioning. They focus on the design and construction of buildings, bridges and other structural components of infrastructure projects.

What you'll learn

In your first year, you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering before commencing your civil engineering courses in second year. During your third year, you will start taking introductory structural engineering courses, such as structural analysis and steel and timber design, with your final year primarily focused on specialised structural courses including earthquake and masonry engineering and cold-formed steel design.

At least half of your honours year will involve a major project. Projects are generally supported by industry clients or based in a research area like the Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management concentration. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours) prepares you for higher level graduate jobs in IT. It may also lead to research or leadership roles in computing, information technology or information systems, as well as postgraduate and PhD studies.

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

Mathematics can open doors to a wide range of careers with employers increasingly looking to quantify and understand data, seeking new and improved solutions to business, health, technological and societal challenges.

This degree creates work-ready professionals with sound knowledge in applied mathematics and strong multi-disciplinary skills. You will develop the analytical and problem-solving skills to play a valuable role in the growth of society.

What you'll learn

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

You will study multi-disciplinary areas such as mathematical modelling, data collection and analysis, applied probability, and the implementation of computer-driven solutions. You can also choose to study a minor in Information Technology or take electives from other natural sciences.

In your final year you’ll combine study and hands-on experience with the chance to take part in the Maths Clinic program. In Maths Clinic a team of students, supported by academic supervisors, works on a problem in close consultation with an industry partner. This will strengthen your abilities in research, analysis, interpretation of data, and communication.

This one year degree is for students who have completed a bachelor degree in a relevant field of science, technology, engineering, environmental science or health with a high level of academic achievement. This degree will train you to undertake research and help you to develop higher level scientific and problem-solving skills.

What you'll learn

Over the course of the year you will study courses in research methods, principles and ethics, as well as research project preparation. You will complete a research project that involves laboratory and/or field work, data collection and analysis, interpretation of your results in the context of current scientific literature, preparation of an Honours thesis and presentation of a final seminar to academics, student peers and relevant industry and government stakeholders.

You will also study advanced topics related to your field of study. This could include topics such as:

• environmental chemistry and pollution monitoring
• earth sciences including isotope geochemistry
• ecology including remnant habitats and climate refugia, environmental and park management
• surface chemistry
• physics and photonics

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Software Development) will see you develop specialist expertise in the creation of computer software and applications, preparing you for a rewarding career in this high demand area of ICT. Proficient in programming and equipped to work in a diverse range of programming roles, graduates may find work in IT companies, freelance consulting and IT departments across the public and private sector.

You will learn to write code in several programming languages – Java, C++, Python, SQL ASP.Net – and develop the skills needed to design, implement, evaluate and test new and existing software programs. You will also learn critical and industry relevant software development methodologies including Agile and SCRUM.

Professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society, you will enjoy a modern, practical approach to your IT education, with significant opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in real-world settings so that you graduate ready to meet the needs of industry.  

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 development specialty that will you see you studying:

• Python, Java, Swift and SQL – highly sought-after skills in the Australian job market¹.
• Agile and SCRUM methodologies
• Data Structures
• Design Patterns with C++
• Cloud and Concurrent Programming
• Web Technology

What you'll Learn

You will start by developing foundation skills in data and statistics and then in second year, you will study advanced skills in analytics. This will include courses such as:

• Predictive Analytics
• Unsupervised Methods in Analytics
• Research Methods
• Data Visualisation
• Customer Analytics in Large Organisations
• Advanced Analytic Techniques 1 & 2
• Social Media Data Analytics

What you'll Learn

The Master of Information Technology (Cyber Security) has been designed to develop foundational, discipline specific knowledge in IT in your first semester of study. From there, you will complete courses that develop your knowledge in governance, risk management and compliance, business practices, network security and cyber criminal behaviour, before completing advanced topics in:

• security operations
• security architectures
• enterprise and cyber physical security, and
• cyber law and digital evidence.

This two-year qualification is an introduction to university-level study and is a pathway towards UniSA’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degrees, with specialisations in civil, mechanical, mechatronics, electrical engineering and/or surveying.

What you'll learn

You will be introduced to core concepts across civil, electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines, developing your understanding of each field.

Engineers apply science and maths concepts to solve practical problems. The maths skills you gain will be essential to further your understanding of more complex engineering concepts. You’ll learn the basics of algebra, trigonometry and calculus.

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 primary education.
