Faculty of Science, Health, Education and Engineering
The Faculty of Science, Health, Education and Engineering currently has almost 4000 students enrolled across its three schools in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. These include the:
Within these schools, the Faculty offers programs in science, education, engineering, paramedic science, health, sport, nursing and joint programs between both faculties.
As a faculty we are forever increasing our comprehensive range of courses and programs that position our students for success in the global economy. Students are encouraged to undertake more than one science major and to study courses from other faculties.
The emphasis is on producing graduates with greater career options by equipping them with a degree that is more attuned to the job market, rather than just traditional laboratory roles.
Faculty research allows our students to get involved in a wide range of available projects and research areas that can be undertaken by internal and external students at undergraduate, honours, masters and doctorate levels.
The Faculty continues to develop new research and houses one research group titled Genecology. The Faculty prides itself on developing strong programs within the health area as well as forming links with regional organisations.
This includes the coordination of the Sunshine Coast Sports Hall of Fame, with key partners such as Sunshine Coast Daily, the Department of Communities (Sport and Recreation Services) and 92.7 Mix FM.
Our academic staff are highly qualified and experienced with almost 80 percent of our staff holding a master's degree or above and over 60 percent with a PhD or above.
The majority of our staff are involved in collaborative research projects within the community and around the world.
We also offer services to the local community on the assessment of water quality by leading and accredited facility staff from Analytical Services.
