This major is designed to meet the needs of geology, physics, mathematics, engineering and surveying graduates seeking a career in geophysics. It is also for geophysics graduates from other universities wishing to become more familiar with recent geophysical developments. Students will complete a range of coursework units from all areas of exploration geophysics. They will also learn to conduct and manage research before undertaking several major research project units. There is an option to exit this major after finishing the first year with the award of Graduate Diploma in Science. This major is currently not available for Honours (Geophysics) students.

This major draws upon the diverse and complex traditions of fine art calling for a high degree of self-discipline, capacity for self-criticism and dedication to the demanding profession of being an artist. The Fine Art Major aims to produce accomplished and knowledgeable graduates able to contribute to the artistic, aesthetic and social needs of contemporary society. Students will undertake a major project in their second year of study. They will also have an opportunity to practice their skills and develop their portfolio through internship with a professional organization. Students with outstanding results will have an option to further strengthen their critical capacity in preparation for possible PhD study.

Electricity is a key energy source in the development and progress of contemporary society. Since fossil fuels are a finite resource, the development of alternative sources of electrical energy such as solar and wind is vital. This major addresses challenges in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Emergent technologies like smart grid and distributed generation are covered in detail. During their one-year project students have the opportunity to further investigate and apply emergent technologies in power systems. Additional Course Expenses Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.

Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of intelligent devices which have inbuilt or 'embedded' computers. Embedded systems are computers with specialised input/output devices that may, or may not be programmed by the end user. Some embedded systems can connect to the internet and access all its information, typical examples are smart phones and tablets. In this major students will study intermediate and advanced topics in embedded systems, for example, embedded systems in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and embedded software engineering. During their one-year project students have the opportunity to further investigate and apply emergent technologies in embedded systems. Additional Course Expenses Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.

This masters program will allow candidates to acquire knowledge and skills for dryland (rainfed) agricultural systems. Candidates will study farming systems in southern Australia, focusing on south-western Australia; these systems have relevance to Mediterranean environments around the world, and to areas where agricultural production is determined by rainfall during the cooler part of the year. The program will cover science and technology for crop, pasture and livestock production (including the roles of genetics and management in achieving optimum production against environmental constraints), and their integration into viable farming systems. Special emphasis is placed on emerging technologies for precise management of crops and livestock, and the role of these technologies in ensuring sustainable and environmentally sound production systems into the future. A research project in an area relevant to dryland systems is an important component of the program.

The Diabetes Major provides the student with the opportunity to advance foundation knowledge and skills in diabetes self-management within the framework of chronic disease and the health impacts associated with the disease. In addition graduates will undertake research primarily in the diabetes field. This major builds on the Graduate Certificate in Diabetes, which is accredited by the Australian Diabetes Educators Association, and the Graduate Diploma in Diabetes. Professional Recognition This Major builds on the Graduate Certificate in Diabetes, which is recognised by ADEA as an award that can be used towards an application for credentialing with ADEA. No further professional recognition is obtained through completing this Major.

This major develops students’ practical skills and knowledge across a variety of writing styles, such as fiction, poetry, and writing for performance, as well as range of emerging and experimental genres. The Creative Writing Major encourages experimentation and creativity and stimulates critical awareness through discussion of relevant theory, and engagement with digital technologies. Students master writing skills and extend their creative and critical capacities by undertaking a project in their second year of study. They also have an option to practice these skills and develop their portfolio through internship with a professional organisation. Students with outstanding results will have an option to further strengthen their critical capacity in preparation for possible PhD study.
