As your studies progress, you will explore more advanced and theoretical areas including meteorology, law, human factors and aspects of the flight and performance of large aircraft systems. You will also study communication and aviation management. Your technical studies will include aerodynamics, heavy aircraft systems, navigation and risk and safety management.

Flight Experience is part of this degree. If you don’t take up Flight Experience, this course will be replaced by two electives.

The Bachelor of Primary Education (Honours) is a four-year professional degree solely focused on teaching that will equip you with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to thrive as a contemporary educator in junior primary and primary settings.

As well as real-world experience, you will be given the opportunity to fine-tune your learning with a primary specialism, focusing on a particular Learning Area aligned with the Australian Curriculum:

• Arts
• Design and Technology
• English
• Health and Physical Education
• Humanities and Social Sciences
• Languages
• Mathematics
• Religious Education (Catholic Studies)
• Science

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

In the Master of Engineering (Engineering Management) program, you will learn the latest theories and professional skills related to engineering management and apply them to the core areas, covering project management, supply chain management, quality management, operation management and resource management. You will also be immersed in practical industry operation procedures to suit becoming an engineering manager as a future career path.

What you Learn

In the first year of the program students gain an appreciation of various operational aspects of managing the operations of an engineering organisation. This includes studies in areas such as total quality management, research data analysis, principles of project management, engineering economic analysis, sustainable development and design practice, intelligent production systems, and leadership with elective courses in energy and society, robotics and automation and human resource management, strategic procurement and others.

In the second year of the program students undertake more advanced studies which emphasise the strategic management of engineering operations. This includes consideration of issues relating to supply chain management, resource management, project planning con control, and operation management. The program provides an integrative management of these various strategic aspects of engineering operations.

You will study various aspects of managing the operations of an engineering organisation, including quality management, research data analysis, principles of project management, engineering economic analysis, intelligent production systems, sustainable development and design practice, and people, and leadership and performance with elective courses in energy and society, robotics and automation, talent acquisition and development, strategic procurement and others.

What you'll learn
The qualification comprises studies in quality management, project management, human resource management, leadership, intelligent production systems including the use of robotics and automation and energy management.

Cybersecurity is an essential component of a modern, prosperous and safe society. Like many other nations, Australia is suffering from a cybersecurity skills shortage. These particular skills are essential in our connected, technology-enabled world1.

You will develop the skills and expertise required to assess, design and implement enterprise wide cybersecurity. In a final year Cybersecurity Exercise you will devise and implement a defence strategy for a complex enterprise environment.

What you'll Learn

You will study a range of core and technical courses including network infrastructure, security governance, web and cloud security, and cybersecurity risk and compliance. You will also complete two capstone courses:

Security Architecture: apply cybersecurity defence strategies and security testing techniques to a complex IT environment and develop presentation methods for communicating technical topics to a lay audience.

Professional Project: work in a structured project team, gaining practical experience in contemporary cybersecurity techniques and practices.

What you'll learn

In the Graduate Diploma in Data Science you will learn current techniques in data science, and how to apply this knowledge professionally. You will develop:

• cognitive skills to review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge and identify and provide solutions to complex problems in data science

• cognitive skills to think critically and to generate and evaluate complex ideas

• specialised technical and creative skills in data science

• communication skills to demonstrate an understanding of theoretical concepts

• communication skills to transfer complex knowledge and ideas to a variety of audiences

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

Electrical engineers are needed wherever electrically powered tools, devices or systems need to be designed, manufactured or maintained. These systems include those that:

• generate, transmit or distribute electrical energy
• acquire, process or deliver information, and
• automate processes and deliver services.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As your studies progress, you will learn about analog electronics, digital electronics, software development, embedded systems, computer networking, electrical machines, signal processing, robotics, control systems, power systems and renewable energy, and telecommunications.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Mechatronic) will see you explore the physics-based modeling and simulation of electromechanical systems. You will learn how to analyse, design and implement electromechanical systems using cutting-edge software platforms and collaborative digital environments.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As you advance in your studies you will learn about:

• Analog electronics
