Why study science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) at UniSA?

When you study STEM at UniSA, it’s about more than labs and lectures.

From day one of your degree, you’ll get hands-on with our first-class facilities at Mawson Lakes — an entire UniSA campus dedicated to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Here, you can get involved with ground-breaking research that is solving the world’s greatest challenges: from surveillance and intelligence, to developing green energy solutions for tackling the climate crisis.

Off-campus, you can experiment with career options in STEM through our strong industry connections with leading defence, technology and engineering companies.

On a paid internship, you could help fight cybercrime with the Department of Defence, transform Adelaide’s skyline with Sarah Construction, or light-up the night with SA Power Networks.

If you’re ready to launch your unstoppable career in STEM, choose UniSA.
