University of New South Wales (UNSW) Courses

Software engineering includes the design and implementation of specific, reliable, efficient and secure software systems for a multitude of purposes. Of course, you also have to be able to write code if you're going to design a program to fulfil a need or solve a problem. You will learn about the processes, methods and tools for the design and development of high-quality, reliable software systems. This involves the study and application of software specification, design, implementation, testing and documentation. This degree includes a series of workshops that enable students to work in teams and gain hands-on experience. To get you work ready, you'll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

This double degree gives students the skills required to deal with complex legal issues stemming from new industries and contemporary science disciplines.

The Master of Security and Defence Management is designed for defence, security and foreign affairs professionals who wish to gain a more detailed understanding of the factors shaping the contemporary strategic and security environment, the complex policy challenges they present, and the skills and insights required of astute managers within this context.

This unique degree fits well into the ever-evolving area of smart machines and systems. You will graduate with abilities in the full spectrum of smart machine design and with skills in the development of autonomous systems such as self-operating robots, including vehicles, as well as a thorough knowledge of industrial automation.

This double degree gives students the skills required to deal with complex legal issues stemming from new industries and contemporary science disciplines.

The Master of Decision Analytics is designed for students who want to develop a high-level understanding of the principles and practices of decision analytics and to strengthen their skills in this area. The degree allows students to acquire qualitative and quantitative decision-making tools for analysing complex operations environments and making appropriate decisions within those environments.

Aeronautical Engineering is the study of the design, development, manufacture, maintenance and control of machines or vehicles operating in the earthâ€s atmosphere or in outer space. The design of flight vehicles is a complex process that demands knowledge of many engineering disciplines, including aerodynamics, propulsion systems, structural design, avionics, and stability and control systems. Maintaining and operating a flight vehicle requires an understanding of materials, reliability and structural analysis, along with knowledge of the design process. You will study engineering practice and design, computational problem-solving, programming, mathematics, physics, engineering materials, aircraft and systems design, cyber security, and applied thermodynamics and propulsion.

The Master of Capability Management gives students a high level of understanding of the issues associated with the development and management of capability and capability systems. It focuses on the technical and management factors that influence the design, performance, employability, logistic support and technical integrity of materiel systems to achieve capability requirements. This degree was originally designed to meet the needs of the Defence Capability Technology Management College (CTMC). A broader version of the program is available for the general public, with electives from systems engineering and management programs

Mechanical engineering is concerned with the use of machines, the production of power, and forces and motion. During your degree, you will study computational problem-solving, programming, mathematics, physics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, engineering materials and cyber security. You will spend at least 60 days gaining practical engineering experience in the workplace and undertake a capstone research project in your final year.

This Honours degree gives you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of Industrial Design by undertaking a significant research project.

Learn how to shape sustainable, equitable, healthy and inspiring built environments. City planners play a pivotal role in decisions shaping the future of our cities and regions by working at the interface between development and environment.This degree will teach you how to collect and analyse information, identify requirements and options, make forecasts, and prepare policies, plans and programs for implementation.

Electrical engineering is built on a foundation of mathematics, computer science and physical science. During your degree, you will study subjects such as computational problem-solving, programming, mathematics, physics, data structures, signals and systems, communications, surveillance, and radar and computer engineering. You will spend at least 60 days gaining practical experience in the workplace and undertake a capstone research project in your final year.
