COURSE DESCRIPTION

The world we live in is more interconnected than ever before. Data storage networks manage vast quantities of information, and electronic systems mesh together in overlapping networks on an unprecedented global scale. While the digital revolution is a landmark of human progress, it opens up vulnerabilities for malicious cyber criminals to exploit.

The Master of Information Technology (Cyber Security and Networks) is a multi-faceted qualification with a flexible course structure, allowing you to major in Cyber Security and Networks. If you come from an IT background, you will receive advanced standing in recognition of your experience and have the opportunity to attain a Cyber Security and Networks master’s qualification in as little as 18 months (full time study).

The course is also ideal for those coming from a background other than IT. The extended 2 year full time program – perfect for a career shift – will help you build a solid foundation in real world IT-practice, which you will then leverage as you take a deep dive into the field of Cyber Security and Networks.

You will learn the fundamentals of Information Technology best practice and extend these skills into the field of cyber security, exploring a range of topics from the modern cryptographic techniques that underlie data protection, to the secure programming skills that reinforce secure design, and play an essential part in building layered network architecture.

Upon graduation you will be qualified to work for a range of IT service providers, consultancies and vendors. Cyber security expertise, in particular, is an in-demand skill that is undergoing significant investment nationally – in line with global trends – as awareness of cyber security risks grows.

The skills you acquire are highly translatable, relevant for professional work in government departments, and a range of private sector industries that include finance and banking, health care, education, advanced manufacturing, engineering, mining and agriculture, and more.
