The degree seeks to provide a systems-approach to understanding how our oceans operate now and in the geological past. Key features of the BMarSc degree are its unique framework of marine biology, marine geoscience, marine chemistry, and environmental science units, along with supporting quantitative units, and its flexibility in allowing students to develop their interest in one of those disciplines through the later stages of the degree. Field experiences and laboratory work are deemed essential for relevant marine skill development. The Masters of Marine Science and Management employs a collaborative structure based at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) to develop the first broad-based, multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional marine Masters program offered by Australian universities. It is taught across four of the SIMS member universities (MQ, UNSW, UTS and U Syd) with a course structure that allows for enrolment at each university. The units of study offered in the MQ version of the course encompass the main disciplines of marine science (marine biology, geosciences, marine chemistry, remote sensing technologies, coastal management, conservation biology, biodiversity, statistics and law). A number of these units, particularly BIOL8770, take advantage of newly built teaching facilities at SIMS, and exploit the expertise of the 80+ marine scientists associated with SIMS.Read More

A foundation of programming, data, networking and cyber security provides a solid base for later study. The Information Systems and Business Analysis major from the Bachelor of Information Technology provides foundational undergraduate study in the area. The emphasis is on concepts, insights and skills that enable graduates to use current technologies and to also evaluate and adapt to new technologies as they emerge. Central to the learning of the conceptual material is extensive practical experience where non-trivial problems are analysed, solutions designed and developed, both individually and in groups. A final-year undergraduate industry-based group project in the PACE/capstone unit brings everything together to solve a real world problem. In the transition third year, students study a mixture of advanced undergraduate information systems, including applications to accounting systems, and build on their undergraduate knowledge and skills with the beginning of postgraduate study. The fourth year comprises advanced postgraduate courses in Information Systems and Technology, including a 20cp capstone project that can be either an industry placement (internship) or internal research project. This capstone allows students to gain experience working on real information technology management projects and for appropriate students - direct exposure to industry problems and practices.The Bachelor of Information Technology and Master of Information Systems provides graduates with the necessary skills to pursue a high-level career in Information Technology with a focus on Information Systems, including advanced material at the postgraduate level.
