Study Areas
The School of Science and Technology offers flexible and rewarding teaching programs that give you the advantage in achieving your personal and professional goals. Our academic staff have won awards in recognition of the high quality of their teaching and enrolling in our courses allows you access to this expertise. We offer innovative and relevant courses in the following areas:
Biomedical Science is a continually changing, dynamic profession with long-term career prospects including management, research, education and specialised laboratory work. Chemistry is the science of matter. This may sound simple, but chemistry is a complex and broad topic that broaches a wide variety of fields. From the core of the earth to the farthest reaches of the universe, chemistry is everything and everywhere. Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. One of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, the main goal of physics is to understand how the universe behaves. Computer science/Information Technology and Data Science is the study of the storage, transformation and transfer of information. Computers and software surround us in our daily lives, from business databases and financial systems to mobile phones, games, and the internet. In a computing course at UNE you can learn how software systems work, gain skills in developing software for these kinds of applications and receive qualifications that enable you to commence or progress your career in this exciting and constantly expanding field. Further, in the digital age, data is the core asset of every organization. It provides the basis for sensible, evidence-based decision making, and the ability to manage and make sense of the modern workplace. The volume of data is growing exponentially hence the employment demand for data scientists is growing strongly. Exercise science concentrates on the study of human movement from developmental, mechanical, motor control, psychosocial, psychological, historical, pathological, and physiological perspectives Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, and space, either as abstract concepts (pure mathematics), or as applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering (applied mathematics). Statistics is the study of how to collect, organise, analyze, and interpret numerical information from data. Statistics forms the basis for quantitative reasoning necessary for making important advances in the sciences.
The study of the brain and nervous system, including molecular neuroscience, cellular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psychophysics, computational modelling and diseases of the nervous system. Discover the latest developments in Precision Agriculture, gaining hands on experience in the technologies that are revolutionising the way we farm.
