Swinburne University of Technology Courses & Fees

The Master of Science (Research) offers students the opportunity to undertake supervised research in the related discipline of their choice. Their chosen discipline may include, for example, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics. Candidates develop a range of skills, including independent thinking, project management, data analysis and critical thinking, as well as refined communication skills. Candidates also learn how to develop hypotheses and design experiments to test them, and to analyse, write about and publish scientific data. The program fosters the development of independent research skills, making it ideal preparation for those looking to undertake further research through a PhD program and/or pursue a career in research.

The Master of Science (Astronomy) covers the fundamental concepts and 'big questions' of modern astronomy. It equips students with an overall understanding of modern astronomy, rather than training as a professional astronomer.

This Graduate Diploma of Science (Biotechnology) aims to provide advanced education in biotechnology and to prepare students for undertaking diverse types of careers in this field e.g. medicine and health, agriculture, pharmaceutical and environmental industries, biotechnology businesses, as well as the education sector. The course is specifically designed for students who have a first degree in basic biological or chemical sciences e.g. botany, zoology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, agriculture, veterinary science, but little prior education in biotechnology. The course aims to provide an understanding of the fundamental principles of the key areas of biotechnology, including molecular biology, bioinformatics, medical, industrial, forensic and agricultural biotechnology, and the diverse applications of these areas, hence a prior degree or experience in biotechnology is not essential.

The Master of Business (Research) offers students the opportunity to undertake supervised research in the related discipline of their choice. Candidates develop a range of skills, including independent thinking, project management, data analysis and critical thinking, as well as refined communication skills. The program fosters the development of independent research skills, making it ideal preparation for those looking to undertake further research through a PhD program and/or pursue a career in research.

Opting for a Bachelor of Science (Honours) is a good decision in Australia, considering its excellent future prospects. This bachelors program revolves around several aspects including Natural And Physical Sciences and spans 1 Years. Successful graduates can pursue careers as Environment Consultant, Environmental Scientist or Mine Environment Officer, Microbiologist, Pharmaceutical Scientist, Biochemist, Chemist or Biotechnologist, Mathematician, Physicist after the completion of their course. At the same time, they have to fulfill the criteria for admissions.

The Master of Research is part of a combined set of programs that offer students a pathway into a higher degree by research from an undergraduate degree. The Master of Research offers students the opportunity to undertake supervised research in the related discipline of their choice, with the aim of submitting a major thesis of 20,000 words. Candidates develop a range of skills, including independent thinking, project management, data analysis and critical thinking, as well as refined communication skills. The program fosters the development of independent research skills, making it ideal preparation for those looking to undertake further research through a PhD program and/or pursue a career in research.

The Master of Science (Biotechnology) provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of biotechnology, including molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and medical, industrial, forensic, agricultural and environmental biotechnology. It allows students to study to their desired level and focus on their particular field of interest.

Our Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques will provide you with the scientific and technical knowledge and skills needed to successfully perform key duties within a laboratory or laboratory-related workplace. You'll learn how to use basic equipment, safely handle chemicals and follow procedures. Upon completion of this course, you could go on to further study in laboratory techniques or pursue entry-level employment as a laboratory technician.
