University of New South Wales (UNSW) Courses

If you want to work in aviation but not necessarily as a pilot, or already have industry experience and want to further your qualifications, this is the degree for you. It shares a common academic core with the flying stream, but instead of flight training you do a range of courses in management areas such as operations management, aviation economics, law and regulations, airline marketing and safety.

The Master of Space Engineering is designed for those who wish to develop a high-level understanding of the principles and practices of engineering related to space systems and to strengthen their skills in this area.

This degree explores the best ways to make use of renewable energy technologies, including solar thermal systems, photovoltaics, wind and biomass. It borrows much of its structure from other areas of engineering, drawing resources from all around UNSW into a consolidated degree supporting learning for this growing industry. About half of what you study in this degree is common with Photovoltaics & Solar Energy, but it looks beyond the sun as a source of energy, encompassing a wider range of technologies and their uses. It also addresses the important areas of solar architecture and the design of energy-efficient buildings and appliances. To get you work ready, you'll apply your skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

Take your studies to the next level with this one-year Honours degree. Suitable for high achieving students upon completion of an undergraduate pass degree in Arts, International Studies or Social Research and Policy, the Honours year will further develop your analytical and research skills in your chosen discipline of study.

The Master of Engineering Science provides the opportunity to acquire high-level understanding and advanced analytical skills in areas that span the engineering disciplines as well as project management incorporating those disciplines. There is strong emphasis on extending undergraduate skills and vocational experiences to enable graduates to apply high-level understanding to real-world complex engineering problems. It is a very flexible degree where students can acquire knowledge in different areas in engineering.

The Master of Business (MBus) aims to develop excellent managers for the public, private and not-for-profit sectors including defence. It provides students with an advanced understanding of the concepts and principles that underpin effective management, business decision making and leadership as well as analytical skills they can use throughout their career. The degree combines a core set of business courses. The Strategic Management course is considered a capstone component and students can also select other subjects related to their interests. The degree has the option to do a research-based project that will lead to future research-focused degrees.

This exciting degree focuses on the science and practice of air and space flight; the design, development, testing and production of aerospace vehicles; the maintenance and operation of aircraft; and aerospace research. To accommodate the international nature of the aerospace industry, you will receive the same depth of understanding as professional aerospace training programs in other industrial countries. Our Aerospace Engineering degree focuses on airborne vehicles to meet future employment prospects in Australia (like aerodynamics, flight mechanics, propulsion and structures). The final-year course involves a team project integrating all aspects of aircraft design to meet a defined mission specification. To get you work ready, you'll apply your skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

The Master of Data Science degree explores more ways to organise, identify, analyse and ultimately use data to inform strategies, redefine ambiguous questions and find answers that make a genuine impact. Students will develop advanced technical and mathematical skills to unpick complexities and make sense of the numbers.

Civil engineering focuses on the design and construction of facilities such as buildings, roads, bridges, airfields, and water supply and waste treatment facilities, and the associated planning and management of these projects.

This double degree will develop your analytical ability and understanding of complex legal issues while also building the knowledge and skills to construct, analyse and interpret fundamental structures and relationships. The Law degree aims to develop graduates who have excellent analytical skills, a capacity for scholarly research, effective oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to personal and professional development, ethical practice and social responsibility. The Advanced Mathematics degree involves advanced coursework with an Honours-level research project.

The Graduate Certificate in Optometry will extend your clinical skills and knowledge in a range of areas across optometry and vision science. You may choose from subjects covering ocular therapeutics, myopia management, public health and community eye care and advanced ocular disease. This Graduate Certificate has been designed to suit new and established practitioners who hold a degree in optometry. On completion, you will have the knowledge and skills to meet the growing demands of this area of healthcare.

The world relies increasingly on advances in biotechnology to overcome medical, environmental, agricultural and manufacturing challenges. Biotechnologists work at the forefront in pharmaceuticals, food, industrial chemicals, crop and livestock farming, environmental clean-up and forensics.This four-year degree, including an Honours year, provides comprehensive training in all aspects of the field. You will first learn the fundamentals of science in courses such as biology, chemistry and maths. You will then delve deeper into the multidisciplinary world of biotechnology, with courses in molecular biology, microbiology, chemistry, genetics and biotechnology. Gain invaluable practical experience in your Honours year, where you will experience scientific research first-hand and complete a supervised research project.
