University of New South Wales (UNSW) Courses

In an increasingly globalised business and research environment, scientists need to be experts in their field and qualified to interact effectively with colleagues around the world. This degree focuses on a Science major as well as cross-cultural skills, knowledge and understanding. It includes study overseas at a UNSW partner university and you will receive financial assistance to help fund your study abroad.The wide range of majors will give you a solid education in scientific theory, method and research. A minor in a language and electives covering cultural studies, international business, development studies and globalisation will prepare you for a science career in a global environment.

In this degree, the Bachelor of Science allows you to study a wide range of science subjects. You are encouraged to choose a variety of courses in your first year, and later to choose from more than 20 major options. This gives you time to become more familiar with the different areas of science and to explore possible majors.The Computer Science component emphasises the basic principles behind computing tools, operating systems, compilers and translators, and computer hardware.You will study the representation of data and data structures and the design of algorithms, as well as the creation of hardware and software tools and the role of non-computing elements in the design and development process.

This double degree is for students who want to pursue a career in the related disciplines of materials engineering and chemical engineering. Where materials scientists concern themselves mainly with the underlying science of high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, chemical engineers focus on turning raw materials into useful, marketable products - from fertilisers, drugs and plastics, to paper, paint and food. By studying both degrees, you will learn foundational theory and practical skills that will put you at the forefront of development and innovation.

The Master of Marine Science and Management is a joint degree between UNSW and three Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) partner universities. It takes you beyond traditional courses to address new approaches to marine science, including information systems and remotely sensed data analysis, the impact and use of marine science on management in the marine and coastal zones.You will also learn about coastal management and engineering, climate change, marine ecology and conservation, physical oceanography and modelling. This is a 12- to 18-month degree depending on prior learning, and you will have the option to complete three courses at partner universities. The degree's compulsory tutorial and seminar series is taught at SIMS at Chowder Bay and is based around the analysis of data streams from the Integrated Marine Observing System

Reproductive medicine is at the forefront of emerging medico-scientific technology, offering hope to many people trying to have a child. Increasing numbers of medical practitioners are developing special interests in this area - particularly GPs, family planning practitioners and specialist gynaecologists working in menopause and infertility. Similar specialisations are also emerging in nursing and counselling, and among biological scientists.The Master of Reproductive Medicine will give you detailed knowledge of reproductive medicine. You will gain an advanced understanding of the ethical, social and professional aspects required to deliver a high standard of clinical care to patients. You'll also be able to demonstrate enhanced teamwork skills within the workplace, to specialist and non-specialist audiences, and will develop effective communication skills in professional and social contexts.

Practical legal training (PLT) is an essential requirement for admission as a lawyer in Australia. The UNSW Graduate Diploma in Legal Professional Practice (GDLPP) offers a distinctive, practice-ready program for law graduates intending to seek admission to the legal profession. It's designed to develop both practical skills and proficiency in the day-to-day practice of law and to ensure graduates satisfy the competency standards for entry-level lawyers.  

A biomedical engineer can look at a medical problem and analyse it in engineering terms to find a solution. Materials Science is the underlying science of high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. This double degree is designed for students who want to pursue a career in biomedical engineering through the technical base of materials science and engineering. It focuses on the development, processing and application of materials used in many areas of biomedical engineering.You will learn theoretical and practical skills that will put you at the forefront of innovation in developing systems to maintain and enhance life, as well as how to design body parts or tissues, develop artificial organs, improve robotic surgery, invent health technologies and more.It involves a four-year Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Science (Honours) and a Master of Biomedical Engineering in the fifth year.

The Bachelor of Commerce/Education is a double degree for those interested in teaching secondary-school business studies and economics. After completing this degree, you will have a professional teaching qualification as well as a commerce degree from the UNSW Business School.

The sustainability challenge of the 21st century has moved on from awareness and information. It is now about implementation: how to make it happen. The Master of Sustainable Built Environment is structured to meet this challenge. It will prepare you to become a specialised champion for change, taking a global and practical view that is driven by critical thinking. In this degree you will consider different value systems in cultures which influence how communities shape their built environments, and explore challenges in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. With the choice of a capstone research project and/or Integrated Design Studio,, this comprehensive degree focuses on providing you with evidence-based tools to support all endeavours in the sustainable built environment, from room to region.
