Health science is the study of the physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of health. There is a growing demand for health professionals who have the skills to promote and enhance health and wellness to minimise the impact of preventable health problems. This course prepares students to be able to make a positive contribution to enhancing the health of communities. Health Science students graduate with the practical and theoretical knowledge and skills in communication, teamwork, critical thinking, innovation, and cross-cultural and international awareness. They are highly sought after and can choose a range of interesting and dynamic career pathways. Students can choose to undertake two eight-unit majors, or a major and minor, in the following disciplines: Addiction Studies, Environmental Management, Health Promotion, Nutrition, Occupational Safety and Health. Alternatively, students can undertake one 16-unit major in the following disciplines: Nutrition Bioscience, Environmental Health. A minor in Youth Work is also available.

This course provides a high-quality and broad-based coverage of multi-disciplinary engineering. In the modern engineering environment, large-scale engineering projects are increasingly likely to be of a highly multi-disciplinary nature, requiring engineers from diverse backgrounds to be able to work effectively as a team to deliver the outcomes. In such environments, a broader understanding of engineering, beyond one specific area of specialisation, is highly desirable and advantageous. Developing such breadth in four-year engineering courses is a challenge as it compromises the level of specialist knowledge that is also required from a graduate engineer. This three-year program, followed by specialisation in ECU's Master of Engineering course, affords the opportunity to develop this strong multi-disciplinary knowledge base. This course comprises the first part of a pathway to becoming a professional engineer. Graduates of this course will have guaranteed entry into the two-year Master of Engineering degree, where they will choose their area of specialisation from Civil, Mechanical, Electrical Power, Electronics and Communications, Computer Systems, Instrumentation Control and Automation, or Mechatronics Engineering. Graduate Engineer status is achieved at the completion of the Master of Engineering course. This educational program follows the 3+2 model of engineering education which has been widely adopted in Europe. Graduates of this engineering program will have an edge in their engineering careers due to greater depth and breadth in their education compared to standard four-year engineering courses.

This course provides specific, industry-focused theoretical knowledge and practical skills for a career in the hospitality and tourism industries. It equips students with the essential knowledge, competencies and professional perspectives required by middle and senior levels of management in contemporary hospitality and/or tourism organisations. The course focuses on the application of key aspects of marketing, financial management, tourism planning and development, service management, food and beverage management, rooms division management, event management,special interest tourism, business research, ecotourism and strategic management for the tourism and hospitality industries. Students can further specialise and give their studies a stronger focus in various fields, such as event management, marketing, human resource management, and international business. The course also provides approved students (on application and subject to a selection process) with the opportunity to apply for an internship placement with a leading hospitality and/or tourism business.

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to deliver pre-hospital care within a range of clinical, policy and organisational contexts. Students will also develop the understanding needed for the public health, social, cultural and clinical aspects of paramedical science.

This double degree enables students to gain skills in law and psychological science, providing a broad range of potential career opportunities. The Law component equips students with skills for the courtroom and beyond, providing greater scope and options for a rewarding career in the legal, corporate, commercial and social justice fields.

This course focuses on the knowledge and skills required to understand the significance of conservation of biodiversity. Students develop the ability to analyse the complex interplays between humans and the natural world, and to apply the tools of modern biology to devising approaches that tackle important conservation issues. The course covers ecology, genetics, wildlife management, animal and plant biology, evolution and the theory and practice of conservation biology.

This program comprises of a research thesis on an area of interest related to rural, regional and remote social work practice. Students undertaking the program will complete a thesis under supervision, which will display a capacity to develop a conceptual framework of understanding in relation to the topic area, research and review the academic and research literature in relation to the topic area, design an appropriate research methodology to collect relevant data in relation to the topic, and analyse the data in relation to its relevance to future social work understandings and practice.
