University of New South Wales (UNSW) Courses

This double degree in mathematics and computer studies makes a valuable combination. While the Advanced Mathematics (Honours) degree focuses on in-depth understanding of pure and applied mathematics, the Computer Science degree looks at the design, construction and uses of computer systems. UNSW offers mathematics students advanced facilities combined with innovative teaching. Your mathematics studies will assist with the manipulation of data as well as the development of algorithms in computer science. The Advanced Mathematics component involves advanced coursework with an Honours-level research project.

Computer engineering is changing the way we lead our lives. The internet is a fundamental element of our daily existence and cars, which until recently had only rudimentary electrics, today boast over a hundred microprocessors. Half the world's population uses mobile phones. Computer Engineering empowers you to make a difference in today's world. This degree covers the theory, design, development and application of computer systems in consumer electronics, transportation systems, medical equipment, telecommunications, and more. Your study will combine elements of Electrical Engineering with methods of Computer Science, while designing programs and building hardware. To get work ready, you'll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

Broaden your career prospects by studying Advanced Science and Computer Science together. The Advanced Science degree differs from the Bachelor of Science with the inclusion of advanced-level courses, an Honours year and options tailored to your aptitude and interests. In addition to foundation subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics and maths, you have access to more than 25 advanced fields of science, including advanced physical oceanography, archaeology palaeoenvironments, climate dynamics and marine and coastal science. During your studies, you will develop the critical and analytical thinking needed for the successful completion of the research-based Honours year.

Combine your interest in mathematics with engineering. Choose from a wide range of Engineering specialisations, from traditional disciplines such as Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering, through to those tailored to modern challenges, such as Renewable Energy Engineering. Pairing this with the Advanced Mathematics degree allows you to gain a deep understanding of the mathematics and statistics that underpin all engineering. In this double degree, you will have access to advanced facilities combined with innovative teaching.

Combine your interest in the humanities with mathematics. This five-year degree incorporates majors in Advanced Mathematics and Arts, and a research project in Advanced Mathematics. The Advanced Mathematics component involves advanced coursework with an Honours-level research project. Access to state-of-the-art facilities combined with innovative teaching will provide you with an in-depth understanding of pure and applied mathematics. You can then choose from more than 35 Arts majors, where you will develop transferable skills and in-depth knowledge, and gain the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct independent research

The broad profession of civil engineers is responsible for projects that enhance the overall quality of life. They design, construct, manage, operate and maintain the infrastructure that supports modern society. This includes buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, airfields, dams, ports and harbours, railways, new mines, water supply and sewerage schemes, irrigation systems, and more. This highly sought-after UNSW degree will give you an excellent grounding in civil engineering fundamentals and applications. You'll study structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transport engineering and water engineering, as well as construction and management. In your fourth year, you can specialise through a full suite of electives.

Choose from a wide range of specialisations, from traditional disciplines such as Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering, through to those tailored to modern challenges, such as Renewable Energy Engineering.

Mathematics, statistics and computing skills are essential to advanced financial and commercial modelling, making Advanced Mathematics a natural complement to Commerce. The Commerce component provides you with a fundamental understanding of general business principles and allows you to develop specialist knowledge in a business area of your choice.

A Public Health degree is recognised globally as essential for a career in population health, including health promotion, policy formulation, research, and management of health programs. The Graduate Certificate in Public Health provides preparation for education, research, and service in aspects of public health. You will develop an understanding of public health domains in health promotion and the social determinants of health, communicable and non-communicable diseases, Indigenous health, and population health priorities and methods in a range of professional areas. Graduates come away with high-level skills that are applicable in real world situations in the professional practice of public health in community and/or health service settings in public and private sectors.

Broaden your career opportunities by complementing your Environmental Management studies with the wide range of options available in an Arts degree. Environmental scientists help find sustainable solutions, and shape policy and environmental regulations through their studies, which focus on how human activity impacts our planet. This degree will teach you the theory and practical skills you need to influence decisions by providing guidance on how to create a safe equilibrium between economic, social and environmental concerns. Fields of study include biology, earth science, ecology, environmental chemistry, geography and marine science. You can then choose from more than 35 Arts majors, where you will develop transferable skills and in-depth knowledge, and gain the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct independent research.

Population growth, urbanisation, increased travel and migration, and changing ecosystems are just some of the factors contributing to changes in infectious disease epidemiology. There is an urgent need to develop the capacity of the health workforce's knowledge of the theory and principles of control of infectious diseases in this evolving scenario.The Graduate Certificate in Infectious Diseases Intelligence develops your skills in effective prevention or control of infectious diseases. You get exposed to a range of courses including Infectious Disease Intelligence and Bioterrorism and Health Intelligence. This Graduate Diploma, offered entirely online, articulates with the Masters of Infectious Disease Intelligence, Master of Public Health in Infectious Diseases Epidemiology specialisation as well as the Master of International Health

The Master of Health Management (Extension) provides you with advanced disciplinary knowledge and capacities for tackling challenging senior managerial roles in health services in Australia or internationally. The degree is designed to develop judgement-ready, critically reflexive practitioners who can improve health service systems and outcomes. You will gain a sophisticated understanding across the complex body of multidisciplinary knowledge of health management, including financial and economic management, quality and safety improvement programs, leadership and human resource management, strategic planning and change management, and policy and health program design, implementation and evaluation. Many of our graduates occupy key positions in health services and universities in Australia and across the globe.
