redefining quality in teaching and learning
We offer academic programs in Social Work, Information Technology and Business Management. Our academics are experienced and culturally diverse, paving the way for solutions to issues impacting our society, business and services. Across our three Departments, we have academic teams working on creating cleaner fuels, faster internet, treatment for chronic illness, and more sustainable ways of living.
Our Academic Division includes three departments responsible for ensuring the delivery of quality courses in three disciplinary areas.
Our Department of SWD is responsible for our Bachelor of Social Work which is provisionally accredited with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and prepares graduates to work in a range of key areas that change people’s lives through advocacy, social change, community development and casework. Our Department of SWD has an active program of curriculum review, improvement, and innovation to continuously improve the student experience and to increase opportunities for students, including postgraduate degrees currently in development, to further meet the needs of current and prospective students.
Our Department of SWD is led by Professor Sharon Moore and staffed by a team of experienced, committed academics and practitioners. Meet our SWD staff here.
Our Department of ITE is responsible for our Bachelor of Information Technology with majors in Cyber Security and Information Systems. Aligned with the rapidly changing IT industry, our Department of ITE regularly updates the curriculum to ensure that our graduates are prepared for the workplaces they will enter. The Department of ITE also delivers the Undergraduate Certificate in Information Technology, particularly suited for those who want to supplement their IT skills and knowledge or dip a toe in the water before embarking on a full Bachelor qualification.
Led by our Head of Department, Dr Linh Hoang, the Department of ITE has an ongoing program of new course development, including postgraduate degrees currently in development, to further meet the needs of current and prospective students. Meet our ITE staff here.
Our Department of BME is responsible for our Bachelor of Business (Entrepreneurship) with two majors: Accounting and Management, and a third major in Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management (THE) to commence shortly. Students can also choose a no major path towards graduation (i.e. Bachelor of Business in Entrepreneurship), taking 17 core units plus 7 electives from other BME majors. The elective program allows students to build specialist knowledge in areas of interest on the solid core of the degree. The Department of BME also delivers the Undergraduate Certificate in Business, particularly suited for those who want to supplement their business skills and knowledge or put a toe in the water before embarking on a full Bachelor qualification.
Led by our Head of Department Dr Adam Attar, the Department of BME has an active program of curriculum development to build curriculum in additional areas, including postgraduate degrees currently in development, to further meet the needs of current and prospective students.
