The course covers a broad range of current and emerging areas of cybersecurity, including system security, information security, network security, cloud security, mobile platform security, IoT security and privacy preservation. Learning is underpinned by a solid foundation in computing and information technology, preparing graduates to work in a variety of IT roles that draw on both their broad IT knowledge and cybersecurity specialist skillset.
