Interior architecture is a design discipline that focuses on interior environments and all aspects of their structural, spatial, social and material assembly.Interior architecture and interior design share a common ground but differ in the scale of intervention - while interior architecture includes the manipulation of structural elements such as walls, floors and staircases, interior design generally engages at the scale of individual rooms.In this degree you will learn to develop creative solutions that respond to current societal and functional aesthetic challenges in the built environment - spaces that may be permanent or temporary, from the scale of rooms to the scale of cities.

Women's Health Medicine is an expanding and diverse field of practice. It encompasses the timely provision of sexual and reproductive care, pre-pregnancy and pregnancy care as well as the management of female-specific conditions. Increasing numbers of medical practitioners are developing special interests in this area - particularly GPs, family planning practitioners and generalist gynaecologists. Specialisations are also emerging in this field among nursing and allied health professionals and biological scientists. The Master of Women's Health Medicine will provide you with the advanced knowledge and understanding of the ethical, social and professional aspects required to deliver a high standard of clinical care. Courses within this degree have been developed to provide an evidence-based and practice-centred approach to this field of study.

Everything we use is made of materials, yet only a handful of these materials occur naturally. All the rest have been microscopically engineered - originally by nature, but increasingly by materials engineers/scientists.Materials Science is the foundation for creating high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. This degree teaches you theoretical and practical skills that will put you at the forefront of innovation in developing materials that are lighter, greener and stronger. Your studies begin with a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry and physics before delving deeper through courses in fundamental properties, structures of materials, aspects of engineering design, application and selection of materials. You will become more specialised in the later stages of the degree through electives, practicals and the Honours research project. Electives include ceramic engineering, materials engineering, physical metallurgy and process metallurgy.
