Make your dreams of becoming a pilot reality with an innovative aviation degree. The Bachelor of Aviation (Flight) is the starting point for all international students wanting to fly.

What you'll learn

You will undertake general studies in aviation including an introduction to human factors and safety management systems. You will do Flight Training Theory 1 and 2, taught by instructors from the flight training provider. These courses prepare you for CASA Commercial Pilot Licence theory examinations.

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.

As a student studying the History and Global Politics major you will develop an in-depth understanding of the patterns and processes that have shaped our societies over time and help you analyse and predict events in our contemporary world.

Key areas of study include:

• The politics of environmental change in Australia and Asia
• Framing global politics through film and documentaries
• Global politics and development
• World history trends
• Global power in the Indo-Pacific region

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.

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

Combine engineering skills and knowledge with broad-based business education in this double degree. Alongside your studies in mechanical engineering, develop an understanding of core business concepts such as marketing, management, international business and entrepreneurship.

Mechanical engineering is a diverse field that can be applied right across industries – from manufacturing to mining, energy, agriculture, building services, aerospace and defence. In this degree you will learn to engineer solutions for industry challenges and discover the latest in mechanical system design, robotics and automation, manufacturing technologies and sustainable energy technologies. With our state-of-the-art facilities, you will apply engineering theories to real-world problems. Enjoy the flexibility of tailoring your business studies to your interests by choosing from a wide range of business electives, including management, accounting and finance, economics, law, and marketing.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your mechanical engineering major and complete core courses in business that will give you a solid grasp of business fundamentals such as international business, economics and entrepreneurship.

At least half of the honours year involves a major project. You will take the lead as an engineer in a project environment, working with industry, a government organisation, or an academic research area. There is also the option to do a full-semester internship in your honours year.

This degree is designed to produce job-ready graduates to meet this industry need, and to fill the growing range of work opportunities in the market. Successful maths and data scientists draw on skills from a range of complementary disciplines, so this degree offers a balanced mix of mathematics, information technology and data science. In your final year you’ll have the chance to complete an industry-based project to experience real-world challenges and gain workplace experience.

What you'll learn

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

You will then move into your applied data science studies. You’ll study cross-disciplinary areas such as web development, data structures and mathematical communication, and mathematical modelling.

In your final year you’ll combine study and hands-on experience with courses in programming and networking, decision making and analytics. You will also complete either an industry-based Maths Clinic project or a major project to strengthen your abilities in research, analysis, and interpretation of data.

Combine engineering skills and knowledge with broad-based business education in this double degree. Alongside your studies in electrical engineering, develop an understanding of core business concepts such as marketing, management, international business and entrepreneurship.

Electrical engineers focus on energy and information, designing and operating devices, equipment, technology, services and systems. With our state-of-the-art facilities, you will apply engineering theories to real-world problems. Enjoy the flexibility of tailoring your business studies to your interests by choosing from a wide range of business electives, including management, accounting and finance, economics, law, and marketing.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your electrical engineering major and complete core courses in business that will give you a solid grasp of business fundamentals such as international business, economics and entrepreneurship.

At least half of the honours year involves a major project. Armed with new knowledge and skills, using the latest design tools, and mentored by engineering academic staff, our honours students develop innovative products to advance technology.

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:
