Back to top Program aims The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) provides students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to commence practice as a professional engineer; be eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia (as a Professional Engineer) and other appropriate professional bodies; and to undertake further advanced level studies in engineering. Specifically the program provides students with a core of basic generic and technical skills, common to all branches of engineering, and then permits students to undertake an in depth study of either agricultural, civil, computer systems, electrical and electronic, environmental, instrumentation control and automation, mechanical, mechatronic or power engineering. In addition, students are equipped with a knowledge of the industrial and social environments in which they will function as professional engineers. The program also seeks to instil in students a capacity to communicate effectively and adapt to change. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is primarily vocationally oriented. However, the program has been designed to identify students who have the capacity to undertake further study at an advanced level and to make an original contribution to engineering knowledge.

The program offers students a high level of flexibility as they are able to select from a wide range of Engineering majors and combine it with one of the numerous Science majors.

Back to top Program aims This combination of an Engineering program with a program in Information Technology provides students with the opportunity to become qualified Engineers with a very strong background in Computer Systems and Applied Computer Science. Graduates of this combined program will have a high level of knowledge of both hardware and software components of computer systems and the interrelationships between the two. They will have well-developed skills in both hardware and software design and development. For more details of the two programs that comprise this award, applicants are asked to refer to the Engineering and Built Environment and the Information Technology sections of this Handbook.

Back to top Program aims This combination of an Engineering program with a program in Business or Commerce provides students with the opportunity to become qualified Engineers with a strong background in business or commerce principles and practice. There is an increasing need for engineering graduates to have business or commerce qualifications early in their career as they are often required to manage complex projects with both tight schedules and budgets. In some sectors of the industry a business or commerce qualification can be one of the criteria for promotion. Many engineers have completed a Master of Business Administration . to satisfy this requirement. This program enables students to obtain qualifications in both disciplines at the same time. The program offers students a high level of flexibility as they are able to choose wide ranging combinations of an engineering major and a business or commerce major that best suits their career aspirations. For more details of the two programs that comprise this award, applicants are asked to refer to the Bachelor of Business and Commerce and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) sections of this Handbook.

Back to top Program aims Bachelor of Business and Commerce The Bachelor of Business and Commerce is a professionally-oriented degree program. The aim of the program is to produce graduates who are equipped to identify, describe, analyse and resolve business problems in both the public and private sectors. Successful completion of the program will equip graduates with the skills and knowledge required to undertake employment in relevant professions. Bachelor of Science The Bachelor of Science is an undergraduate qualification consisting of 24 units, taught in English, which normally takes three years of full-time study or part-time equivalent. The program structure requires successful completion of a twelve or eight unit major in a chosen discipline, four units of foundation study courses and either a second major or elective courses. The Bachelor of Science is located at Level 7 of the Australian Qualifications Framework.

Back to top Program aims This program aims to produce graduates who have mastery over the professional practice of contemporary communication industry skills, supported by scholarly engagement with communication/media theory. Graduates will demonstrate professional practice in preferred areas of journalism, public relations, advertising and marketing, supported by a range of cognate skills from contemporary communication and media studies. Students can complement their major study with nominated major and minor studies from across the University’s programs. The Bachelor of Communication and Media program allows specific emphasis on those skills required in communications professions, with emphasis on journalism, public relations and mass communication.

Back to top Program aims The program aims to produce professional level graduates for the building industry who have a broad range of relevant technical skills and well developed skills in communication and team work. The program is designed to capitalise on growing demand and the primary aims are to: enable graduates to attain a diverse range of skills and competence to successfully manage a wide range of construction projects develop ability to plan, monitor and control the technical, logistical, legal and financial aspects associated with building and construction projects accept a leadership role in planning, managing and organising people and other resources on construction projects in the built environment.

Bachelor of Laws The Bachelor of Laws aims to equip students with an academic qualification for professional practice. While students undertake the traditional studies in the litigation process, they also learn about the increasingly important alternative methods of resolving disputes. They learn about conflict and communication, negotiating, mediating– from a theoretical as well as practical perspective. Not all law graduates aspire to a career in legal practice and so the program also builds the special capabilities that a legal education can offer. It provides opportunities to develop analytical, complex problem-solving and research skills. It seeks to build critical thinkers with an appreciation for a range of theories explaining legal regulation as well as for the social, political and economic context of the legal process. To inform students on global issues, an international dimension, for example on the regulation of business and on the protection of human rights, is also available.
