University of New South Wales (UNSW) Courses

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.

Bridge the gap between new designs and their execution with Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. You'll learn how to design and manage the construction, operation and maintenance of equipment used in many industries - nearly anything that people drive, play with or live in.

The Master of Optometry is designed to provide you with advanced knowledge and clinical skills in vision science. You will be able to develop expertise in a number of fields such as contact lenses, visual neuroscience, myopia control, business skills, occupational optometry, and community eye health.This degree has been designed with a variety of teaching methods and intends to appeal to new and established practitioners who hold an undergraduate degree in optometry. On completion, you will have advanced disciplinary knowledge as well as the skills to meet the demands of the profession. The degree doesn't provide clinical training for registration to practise as an optometrist in Australia.

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.

Broaden your career opportunities by studying Advanced Science and Engineering 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 also have access to more than 25 advanced fields of science. During your studies, you will develop the critical and analytical thinking needed for the successful completion of the research-based Honours year.In the Engineering degree you will have the opportunity to apply yourself to engineering design and enquiry projects, professional engineering practice, engineering and technical management, and research. 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.

Artists and scientists approach creativity, exploration and research in different but increasingly connected ways and perspectives; when working together, they open up new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting the world around us.
