Diploma in Technology (Defence Industries)

Defence technology is at the cutting edge of engineering. But its development and management requires more than engineers.

Defence-tech organisations have a growing need for professionals who understand the science and engineering in their work, and are able to communicate it to multiple audiences - internal teams, customers, government and community. Our Diploma in Technology (Defence Industries) prepares you to do just that.

What will you do?

Taught over 12 months full-time, the degree leverages the University's strong industry links and world-class research. It has a strong focus on critical thinking and complex problem-solving.

In addition to gaining a broad understanding of technology's foundational sciences - computer, information, mathematical, natural and physical - you'll develop skills in evaluating and using:

• engineering methods, tools and processes in real-world defence-related contexts
• systems-thinking principles to manage and develop well-structured and maintainable defence technology solutions
• data analytics and cyber security applications
• AI technologies

Where could it take you?

You could become an industry liaison for a government research organisation. You might help establish multi-contractor alliances. Perhaps you'll manage a tech manufacturer's public messaging. You'll also receive standing towards the Bachelor of Technology (Defence Industries).
