This course is designed primarily to meet the needs of personnel currently involved in the aviation industry who wish to upgrade their skills at tertiary level in the specialist area of human factors. In addition, the course is designed to have considerable application for personnel in other technologically based industries including rail, shipping, heavy industry, the chemical industry and energy production.

The program provides students with the skills necessary to design and implement human factors programs within the aviation industry. It also provides insight into management of the air transportation industry and a deep understanding of the multiple facets of human factors training and its application to the aviation industry.

One of the unique aspects of the program is that lecturers from a number of universities contribute to the teaching. This provides a range of diverse views and ideas and broadens the students' understanding of the human factors domain.

All aviation units of study are undertaken by distance education. Students are required to have internet access as materials are provided online and all assessment is submitted via the Swinburne intranet (Blackboard). Non-aviation units may use other means of delivery and assessment.

The construction industry has always required efficient technical and financial project administrators, and this need is even greater in today's financial climate. Projects must run efficiently on all fronts, and managers must be able to plan, execute and supervise jobs with professional skill in areas where each new technological advance creates a need for new techniques, methods and equipment.

The main aim of this program is to prepare graduates for future roles in managing people, equipment, materials, technological processes and funds in the construction, building and maintenance of buildings and assets in the civil infrastructure. This aim is facilitated by the study of advanced management and engineering techniques in the fields of construction, building and maintenance.

This program is available both on campus and by distance education.

Entry Requirements

Applicants should have completed either:

An engineering bachelor degree or equivalent qualification, or
A bachelor degree degree in building or architecture

Candidates who do not fit the categories above may be admitted upon successful completion of the graduate diploma level. This also allows applicants with overseas qualifications, for which there is no precise Australian equivalent, to be admitted to the program.

This new combined postgraduate coursework program is being introduced for civil engineering students who wish to enhance their knowledge and undertake continuing professional development in both the fields of civil engineering and construction management.

The program will have an applied industry focus and present units of study relevant to professional practice and contemporary research in these fields. The core (discipline specific) units within the combined program have a technical focus, which can be complemented with a range of technical or management focused elective units of study, to suit the needs of the individual student. Importantly, many of the technical units of study have a sustainability theme which is the great challenge for the delivery of infrastructure in the 21st century.

Entry Requirements

The admission requirements for the Master of Technology (Civil) / Master of Construction Management program are:

A Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) degree (or equivalent) and successful completion of the Graduate Certificate units of study; or

A Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) degree (or equivalent) with either honours or at least two years relevant industry experience

Entry to the programs can be in first or second semesters.

The Bachelor of Behavioural Studies from Swinburne University is structured to enable students to acquire knowledge and skills across a variety of study areas. This breadth of knowledge is complemented by focusing the content so that students who complete the program are better equipped to understand and explain human behaviour.

The Psychological Studies major commences with a broad introduction to basic psychological elements and concepts. Later in the program, specialised studies, such as the Psychology of Wellbeing; Psychology of Adolescence; Cognitive Psychology; Psychology of Health; Applied Social Psychology, Personality and Individual Differences; and Psychology of Mental Health are undertaken.

This degree program, with its focus on psychological studies, is viewed as increasingly beneficial within the Australian workplace and, as a result, many industries are seeking employees with qualifications in psychology.
