Master of Science in Business Analytics
Business examines how organisations are created, financed, run and grown, from managing people and money to reading markets and making decisions under uncertainty. Coursework blends analysis with practical judgement. Graduates often move into management, consulting and entrepreneurship, or into specialist roles across finance, operations and marketing.
Intensive English Program
World Englishes studies the many forms English takes as it is used, adapted and reshaped by different speech communities. Work here covers pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and attitudes to variation, alongside questions of identity, power and standardisation. Graduates often go into language teaching, publishing, editing, research and communication roles.
BSW Social Work
Social work supports people facing hardship — family difficulty, disability, poor mental health, poverty, abuse or needs that come with age — and connects them with services and protection. Human development, law, policy and ethics join the practical skills of assessment and intervention. Graduates often work in child and family services, mental health, community organisations and local government.
BS Theatre Arts
Theatre examines live performance from both sides of the stage: acting, directing, writing, design and stagecraft, together with the history and theory of how drama works on an audience. Text, rehearsal and staging are treated as connected parts of a single craft. Graduates often work in performance, directing, production, arts organisations, teaching and screen work.
BS Software Development
At its core, computer science is about computation: algorithms, data structures, programming languages, operating systems and the theory beneath them. Mathematical reasoning and hands-on building reinforce each other throughout. Graduates often become software engineers, or move into data, security, research, product development and technical roles in almost any industry.
BS Sociology
Sociology examines how societies are organised, and how class, gender, ethnicity, institutions and culture shape people's lives and choices. Students learn to gather and interpret evidence about social patterns, and to question explanations that seem obvious. Graduates often work in research, policy, social services, human resources, media and the non-profit sector.
BS Social Studies Education Composite
Polymer engineering deals with plastics, rubbers, fibres and composites: how their molecular structure gives rise to properties, and how they are processed into useful products. Students study materials chemistry, mechanics, processing methods and testing. Graduates often work in manufacturing, product development, packaging, automotive and medical device industries, or in materials research.
BS Psychology - Human Services Emphasis
Human services prepares people to help individuals and families meet basic needs — housing, mental health, addiction, ageing, disability and family crisis — and to navigate the systems that provide support. Study blends counselling skills, case management and social policy. Graduates often work in community agencies, non-profits, youth and family services or public programmes.
BS Psychology
Psychology studies mind and behaviour: perception, memory, development, personality, mental health and how people act within groups. It is an empirical discipline, so designing research and interpreting evidence sit at its centre. Graduates often work in mental health services, research, education, human resources, user research and social services.
BS Political Science
Political science analyses power: how governments work, how policy is made, why people vote as they do, and how institutions and ideologies shape collective decisions. Methods range from political theory to statistical analysis of behaviour. Graduates often work in public administration, policy research, campaigning, journalism, international organisations and consultancy.
BS Physics Education

The subject draws on psychology and sociology while staying close to what happens in classrooms and institutions. Graduates often work in teaching and training, curriculum development, educational research, policy and administration.
BS Philosophy
Philosophy takes up questions that resist easy answers: what we can know, what makes an action right, what exists, and how language and reasoning work. The training lies in constructing arguments and finding the weaknesses in them. Graduates often work in law, policy, education, publishing, technology ethics, research and management.

The work blends creative thinking with data about behaviour. Graduates often work in brand and product management, digital marketing, market research, advertising, and sales or communications.
BS Management
Business administration concentrates on running an organisation as a whole: coordinating people, budgets, operations and strategy so that separate departments work in step. Attention falls on decisions that cut across functions rather than on a narrow specialism. Graduates often move into general management, operations, consulting, and planning or administrative roles across sectors.
BS Human Nutrition - Allied Health Emphasis

Health sciences sit alongside management and social science. Graduates often work in clinical support, health administration, public health bodies and service improvement.
BS History
History reconstructs and interprets the past from evidence: documents, objects, testimony and data, always asking who produced a source and why. The training is in research, argument and writing rather than memorising events. Graduates often work in research, archives and museums, teaching, journalism, law, policy and administration.
BS Geospatial Science
Information systems sits between technology and the organisations that use it, covering how databases, networks and software are selected, integrated and governed to support real business processes. Systems analysis, data management and project delivery are core concerns. Graduates often work as systems analysts, IT consultants, database administrators and technology project leads.
BS Geology
Geology reads the Earth as a record: rocks, minerals, fossils and structures that reveal how the planet formed and keeps changing. Field observation and laboratory analysis are used to interpret landscapes, map subsurface layers and assess natural hazards and resources. Graduates often work in energy, mining, groundwater, environmental consulting and geological survey work.

Topics run from corporate funding decisions and valuation through to markets, portfolios and financial instruments. Graduates often work in corporate finance, banking, investment and asset management, risk analysis and financial planning.
BS Exercise Science
Exercise science examines how the body responds to physical activity: how muscles produce force, how the heart and lungs adapt to training, and how movement can be measured and improved. It blends anatomy, physiology and biomechanics with practical testing. Graduates often work in fitness, sport performance support, rehabilitation settings and health promotion.
BS Environmental Science
Environmental science studies natural systems and the ways human activity alters them: climate, water, soil, air and ecosystems, along with the pollution and resource pressures that connect them. Fieldwork, laboratory analysis and data modelling are the usual tools. Graduates often work in environmental consultancy, conservation, water and waste management, regulation, research and sustainability roles.

Theory, mathematics and laboratory work run together. Graduates often work in energy and power, electronics and semiconductors, telecommunications, automation, transport and product development.
BS Economics

Mathematical modelling and statistical evidence run through the subject. Graduates often work in analysis and consultancy, banking, government and international organisations, and research.
BS Dance
Dance trains the body as an instrument of expression while studying choreography, technique, and the histories and cultures that shape movement.

Graduates often work in security operations, penetration testing, risk and governance, and consultancy.
BS Criminal Justice
Criminal justice looks at how societies define crime and respond to it, covering policing, courts, sentencing, corrections and the debates about fairness running through all of them. It draws on law, sociology and policy analysis. Graduates often move into law enforcement, probation and youth services, policy research, security or further legal study.
BS Construction Management
Civil engineering covers the design, construction and maintenance of the built environment: buildings, bridges, roads, water supply, drainage and other infrastructure.
