The Bachelor of Humanitarian and Community Studies develops your skills to understand, critically analyse and apply concepts of community development and international humanitarian assistance. This course focuses specifically on working with indigenous and non-indigenous communities in urban and resource-poor environments. The course is delivered by academics and experienced practitioners. Interdisciplinary course units provide you with knowledge in: psychology sociology ethics human service delivery cultural studies indigenous knowledge community engagement project management international humanitarian practice You will also complete two practice placements in your second and third year where you will acquire hands-on skills and knowledge in the fields of humanitarian practice and community development.

The Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science will equip you with the knowledge and skills to work as a health professional Your studies will enable you to work with people who are healthy (including athletes) or physically challenged (including the aged and injured), to improve their health and fitness, enhance their physical performance and prevent and rehabilitate injuries. You will combine your academic studies with practical experience with opportunities to get out of the classroom and into the field in professional placements. You will be able to choose three specialist elective units from Flinders University if you are considering further postgraduate qualifications in physiotherapy.

*** This course has been replaced by the Bachelor of Environmental Science WENVS1 from 2018 and applicants should refer to this newly accredited course when applying. Students enrolled in the BES will be able to continue to re-enrol however consideration should always be given to transferring to the latest course version. *** This course is a professionally oriented, multidisciplinary program that enables students to acquire a broad base of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in unique environments of the Northern Territory. It includes a strong focus on environmental science and management in tropical and desert environments in the Australian and Asia-Pacific region. The course provides students with a thorough knowledge of environmental science and management, together with the ability to access information efficiently and apply scientific methodologies across a hierarchy of scales ranging from organisms and communities, through to landscape level ecosystem functioning and global processes, in order to evaluate, understand and predict the nature of environmental change. Students will explore the wider significance of human impacts on the environment and undertake specialisations and units that focus on climate change and variability, wildlife biology and conservation, natural and cultural resource management, marine and coastal management, invasive species, biodiversity, Indigenous perspectives, and the relationship between people and landscapes. Graduates gain employment in professional areas of environmental science and environmental management within industry (e.g. resources companies and consultancy firms), government and community organisations, or proceed to higher levels of research training.

This course includes specialisations in Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Emphasis is placed on learning through project work with students being exposed to engineering practice through guest lectures by practising engineers, site visits and work experience. This course is the first component of a two part accredited pathway (to be recognised as a professional engineer) consisting of the Bachelor of Engineering Science followed by the Master of Engineering.

Chemical Engineering Chemical engineers design and operate the processes involved with the transformation of materials. They are involved in key areas such as oil and gas refining, minerals processing, plastics, food processing and pharmaceuticals manufacture. The Chemical Engineering specialisation focuses on hydrocarbon processing, while still providing the general background necessary for graduates to find careers across a range of employers. Emphasis is placed on learning through project work with students being exposed to professional engineering practice through guest lectures by practicing engineers, site visits and work experience. CDU engineering courses were developed in consultation with industry representatives. Students graduate with a sound foundation of engineering learning as well as the advantage of an education that is directly aligned with industry requirements. Civil Engineering Civil engineers design, construct and manage the systems and infrastructure which is part of modern life. Specific areas include structures, water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures. There is a particular focus on structural engineering, water and its uses and the principles of sustainability, all of which combine to make graduates highly valued across a range of work.

This combined degree course enables students to undertake extensive study in the theoretical, design and implementation aspects of engineering and information technology. This course is designed for those wanting career opportunities in the design and manufacture of electrical and electronic products, machines and processes, development of sustainable forms of energy, software and hardware design, networking and systems, web development and IT management. The information technology course includes specialisations in business-oriented, information systems to network engineering and systems and the creative areas of web and software development. Students develop an understanding of the underlying principles and applications of IT, which will enable them to adapt to future changes in the field as professionals. This course recognises the importance that employers place on people skills and management processes, therefore students will also learn to be problem solvers, decision makers, good communicators and team players. Career opportunities exist in the areas of information systems and management, web design and development, networking, application development and systems. Study opportunities are also provided to assist students to undertake sought-after industry qualifications, including Cisco and Microsoft certifications. Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Information Technology.
