Bachelor of Primary Education (Honours)

at University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus Australia

This innovative Masters degree will give you a broad knowledge of IT disciplines and a solid foundation in business practices.

Taught by world-class lecturers, researchers and practitioners, you’ll learn about IT stakeholder engagement, business intelligence, business systems analysis and modelling, and the day-to-day operation of information systems.

What you Learn

You will study an industry relevant blend of business, IT and information systems course to develop a solid cross-disciplinary base of skills required for business analyst roles.

Towards the end of your study you’ll complete a major project where you’ll work in a structured project team, getting practical experience in contemporary IT techniques and practices.

The only master’s degree of its type in Australia, this program will prepare you to perform design, cybersecurity, research and development, and analytics roles with government agencies, defence contractors or IoT companies. It may also lead to a career in research, with a PhD in space, telecommunications, software, systems or satellite engineering, or the engineering of secure emerging technologies.

This program is suitable for students with an engineering background in areas such as:

• Telecommunications Engineering
• Electronics and Communication Engineering
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering
• Computer Science and Engineering with a significant component of Engineering Mathematics

What you'll Learn

In your first year you’ll study specialist courses covering topics such as big data concepts, systems engineering, critical infrastructure and control system security, cryptography and data protection, and digital communications.

In second year you’ll take further specialist cyber engineering and telecommunications courses including telecommunications and device security, statistical programming for data science, information theory and coding and mobile communications and wireless access.

Also key to this degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your minor thesis.

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 an early childhood qualification.

The curriculum is practical in nature and is solely focused on the education of children from birth to eight years of age. Practical learning is a major component and you will complete four supervised placements in childcare, preschool/kindergarten and junior primary schools, totalling 80 days.

What you'll learn

This degree has been designed to develop skilled, committed and flexible early childhood educators.

The focus is on practical learning, particularly relating to the principles and concepts relevant to early childhood development and learning. You will focus on four major areas:

• Child development
• Curriculum studies
• Professional experience
• Education studies

What you'll learn

During your degree you will complete a year-long project in a major industrial, scientific or commercial project in aviation, guided by an academic supervisor.

You will develop skills in literature search and review, research methodologies, experimental design, data analysis and research ethics, and have the opportunity to tailor your learning to your interest areas with guidance from your academic supervisor.

Topics include:

•     Human Factors
•     Aviation Safety and Safety Management Systems
•     Airline and airport operations
•     Aviation Strategic Management
•     Aviation regulation and law

Construction Managers supervise various design and construction projects from beginning to end. This degree will prepare you to pursue a career in this competitive and highly sought-after field.

What you'll learn

In your first year, you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your civil engineering major. From the third year onwards you will commence construction management courses, such as Construction Scheduling and Advanced Construction Management.
 

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 advanced manufacturing, new production techniques, sophisticated modern manufacturing technologies and high-precision and automated machinery are used to improve products and processes. Mechanical engineers in the manufacturing sector use a broad range of knowledge and skills, including information and communication technology (ICT), digital modelling, quality assurance and new organisational practices. 

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong foundation in engineering including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As you advance in your studies you will explore the latest in manufacturing such as intelligent systems, and industrial actuation and automation.

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

What you'll learn

This is a very flexible degree. You can select two majors from the following fields:

• Applied physics: allows you to pursue in-depth studies in advanced materials, computational physics and medical health physics
• Biology for Science: includes plant and animal biology, cell biology, physiology, environmental biology, biochemistry and introductory biotechnology
• Chemistry for Science: offers studies in both physical and inorganic chemistry
• Ecosystem sciences: looks at environmental sciences and policy including the contemporary concepts of ecosystem management and sustainable development that link natural and social systems, providing a solid foundation in natural sciences and field research techniques.
• Geoscience and Biogeochemistry: combines the study of chemical, physical, geological and biological processes that shape the natural environment, with an emphasis on problems such as climate change, environmental pollution and landscape modification. Investigate the Earth System and the dynamic interactions that govern global change from the microscopic to the macroscopic scale.
• Mathematics and statistics: investigates core studies in applied mathematics, statistics and optimisation.
• Computer Science: develops knowledge of the fundamentals and practice of computing, including studies in programming, data structures, operating systems, computer systems organisation, logic and computational mathematics.

The Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science has been developed in response to industry demand. Along with the graduate certificate and master, it has been designed to meet the growing demand for skilled resource management practitioners.

What you'll learn

You will develop the skills to understand and manage resources within a sustainability framework. Your courses will cover areas such as ecological economics, community partnerships and natural resource management. You will also take three advanced, sustainability-focused electives.
