Here’s a brief guide to some of the courses you can choose from at a tertiary level. You’ll soon discover there’s something for everyone and every passion.
Arts - An Arts degree has the potential to open career doors to the world. Your degree will be supported by academics that are internationally recognised. You will find yourself immersed in Art History and Cinema Studies, Interpreting and Translation, Philosophy or International Studies, to name just a few major areas of study. Combine your studies to broaden your horizons into Law, Teaching, Science, Business, ICT or Medicine.

With a high international profile, expert staff and accreditation from leading Australian industry organisations, along with our well-documented Advanced Business Leadership course, you will be entering the workforce well equipped for success. With a combined business degree, you’ll have even more options to make your mark in the business world.
Communication Arts Courses - The face of media is changing on an almost daily basis. It is no longer limited by traditional media and, as a result, a much freer exchange of ideas exists. We will prepare you to thrive in this new environment, bringing together communication, design, new media, music, media production, journalism, public relations and advertising.
Engineering, Information and Communications Technology - Despite all our modern conveniences, the greatest advances in technology are yet to be made. These advances are not limited by such mundane concepts as bandwidth, tensile strength and system theory; they are limited only by imagination.
Environment and Tourism - The Environment and Tourism courses at the University of Western Sydney are among Australia’s finest, offering a balance of theory and practical field studies, broad subject choices, flexible course structures, industry-based projects and placements, and local and international work experience opportunities.
Forensics Courses - Success or failure in forensics depends on your ability to piece together the little things – the fingerprint, the strand of hair, the snag of clothing – that can lead to big breakthroughs that solve cases. With its highly respected staff, courses, and the chillingly realistic Crime Scene House, UWS has set new frontiers for forensics and explores the vast expanses of this vital science.

Psychology Courses - Studying psychology is to study our most powerful tool – the human mind – and to understand how we perceive and make sense of the world. Psychology helps us more accurately position the individual within the collective. It displaces assumption and installs evidence-based knowledge in place of misconception. What drives us? What stifles us? Psychology aims to make sense of who we really are.

With inspiring academics, smaller class sizes and state-of-the art facilities, you will have everything you need to pursue an exciting scientific career.

This is why our Social Science degrees rank among the most exciting and important programs at UWS.
