A student must hold a Bachelor of Engineering with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) or hold a Graduate Diploma of Engineering with at least a credit average in a relevant discipline or an equivalent qualification from UNSW or another recognised university or tertiary institution in order to be admitted to the program.
This specialisation provides students with advanced study options in Structural Engineering. It is designed to develop skills in analysis and design of steel and concrete structures, with an understanding of modern materials. It is ideally suited for both practising structural engineers and recent graduates planning a career in structural engineering.
A student must hold either:
?a Bachelor degree in Food Science with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent), or
?a Graduate Diploma in Food Science from UNSW, or
?an equivalent qualification from another recognised university or tertiary institution
?in order to be admitted to the program.
The Master of Science program is designed for food scientists and graduates wishing to develop and expand their knowledge and skills in their current area of expertise.* This will enable students to meet or maintain professional accreditation standards and to provide opportunities for continuing professional development, as well as the opportunity to interact with those at the cutting edge of their discipline. Students will develop their technical knowledge and ability to analyse food science problems. They will also gain further skills in solving food science problems and justifying professional decisions.
Students will have the chance to work on a complex, open-ended research-based project. This will develop their systematic approach to a problem and require project planning and the ability to analyse, interpret and communicate results proficiently. The completion of the research provides a pathway towards postgraduate research degrees through the development and demonstration of research-related skills.
(* It is also possible for students to acquire some knowledge and skills in a different specialisation with the approval of the Stream Authority. This requires completion of an appropriate stream in the Graduate Diploma program 5037, which articulates to this program.)

The Master of Urban Development and Design Extension Program (96 UoC) is an intensive coursework program involving four semesters full-time study in one calendar year, or 8 semesters part-time study. The program is Design Studio based, multi-disciplinary and includes a compulsory fieldtrip and workshop in a major international city. The program offers advanced study in the growth and change of urban form. The program connects with fellow universities, city agencies and professionals to integrate latest urban development practice with creative design responses to the challenge of making the 21st century city. An intense combination of coursework and design research is explored in studios, theory seminars, case studies and field projects.
The MUDD Extension Program provides a deeper critical understanding and design techniques for bourgeoning cities and older urban regions facing structural change considered in relation to Sydney as a Global City, which we investigate as a continuing case study in urban design.
The additional research/design semester component at the end of the three semesters is an advanced disciplinary seemester critically engaged with current and higher order research in urban development and design as preparation for new practice frontiers and/or a higher degree. Responding to the complex challenges generated by the pace and scale of urbanisation in our time, the MUDD Extension Program seeks the creative synthesis of three fields of urban research:
1. Spatial political economy – the manifestation in urban form of global patterns of capital formation, investment and disinvestment
2. Urban design principles and paradigms – normative models of ‘good city form’ grounded in aesthetic, social and environmental concerns
3. Urban design as public policy – the intersection of public policy, design principles, governance and defense of the public realm with stakeholders and the development sector.
Entry to this degree is based on your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or an equivalent rank derived from the following: Australian interstate Year 12 qualifications (e.g. OP rank)
New Zealand NCEA Level 3
Equivalent overseas qualifications e.g. International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, GCE A-Levels

The Master of Public Policy and Governance at UNSW provides specialist studies in public policy and management, public administration and public governance of services at the local, national and international level.
Our postgraduate policy studies program applies a social science perspective to questions of policy and management in modern organisations.
Policymaking plays a key role in the management and change of the economy and society. From policy conceptualisation, implementation and management, to evaluation and research - there are few professional areas where you can impact society as greatly as when you are helping to shape public policy.
