Game development, Software technology, and Web and mobile app development. Any pair of majors can be taken as a double major combination. Electives and flexible unit choice allow the majors to be complemented by more Information Technology study or by units from other disciplines. The emphasis in all majors 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 industry-based group project in the PACE/capstone unit brings everything together to solve a real world problem. See also the Bachelor of Advanced Information Technology which has the same structure and similar aims, but adds a research focus provided by essential computing research units.The Bachelor of Information Technology provides graduates with the necessary skills to pursue a career in Information Technology.

The key features of the BMarSc degree are its unique framework of marine biology, marine geoscience, marine chemistry, and environmental science units, along with supporting numeric 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 in this degree.The Bachelor of Marine Science (BMarSc) provides the essential knowledge, key work skills and fieldwork experience needed to monitor and solve problems specific to the marine realm, understand the sustainable use of marine resources, and conduct marine research. The degree seeks to provide a systems-approach to understanding how our oceans operate now and in the geological past. Our aim is to allow undergraduate students to develop an in-depth knowledge base across the fundamentals of marine biology, marine geoscience, marine chemistry, and environmental science. In acquiring these strongly interdisciplinary principles and concepts, we aim to transfer an understanding of modern and future responsible use of ocean habitats and resources. The degree unites the patterns of biological diversity in the marine ecosystem through the study of the organism interactions with the environment, and places these into perspective against the response to geological and climatic changes at various timescales. The degree also introduces the concept of deep-time, and how marine sediments preserve a record of natural climate change over millions years, helping us understand how the modern marine environment will behave as the Anthropocene plays out over the next 1000 years. The degree also provides students with relevant skill sets and thinking specific to the marine environment, proficiencies that are transferable to other scientific and industry-based employers. For students looking to extend their qualifications, the degree is an excellent basis for entry into the Master of Marine Management, offered in collaboration with the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS), or as an ideal starting point for a research career developed through the Master of Research at Macquarie University.

Students will study in an environment that provides access to one of the best-equipped research and clinical environments in the world for speech, hearing, language and cognitive science. Subjects taken in this degree will provide students with discipline specific knowledge. Students will learn how to analyse the structure of language from a range of perspectives including how we produce, perceive and understand spoken language. They will learn the commonalities and differences between the world's languages from both technical (e.g. phonetics and syntax) and sociocultural perspectives. Some aspects of this degree focus on how language is represented in the brain, the relationship between language and society, how it develops in children learning their first language and in children and adults learning a second or other language. Students may also select subjects that involve learning about speech and language disorders, or hearing and its disorders. Many students will use this degree as a gateway to specific clinical training in Speech and Language Pathology or in Audiology. Some students will use this degree as a pathway to further study in areas such as forensic speech science or speech technology. Other students will be considering careers in speech, hearing or language research, possibly leading to academic or research careers.Read More

Finally, it is designed with the strong input from Industry via the Cyber Security Hub. It will deliver graduates with a wide range of capabilities and skills, namely with an operational focus (e.g. SOC analyst), a policy focus (e.g. InfoSec analyst) and a development focus (e.g. DevSecOps). All those roles are in high demand. (COMP1300 Introduction to Cyber Security) or offered by other Faculties (PICT2001, ACCG3060 or BUSL315) This course will strengthen the links between Industry and the University as it will effectively become a pipeline of graduates for our Industry partners which will in return provide opportunities for scholarships, internships and work experience. A number of students will be given the opportunity to complete an industry internship. This internship will count toward the Degree via completion of one or two dedicated units in their flexible zone.This new course aims at addressing the well-documented skills gap in cyber security.
