Master of Computer Science (Cyber Security)
Cyber attacks are on the rise globally. Every sector from government, banking, insurance, to entertainment, telecommunications, and retail, face the daily threat of cyber security incidences. When you study cyber security, you are embarking on a journey of continuous learning to keep organisations safe from cybercriminals and cyber threats.
Cyber security has been identified as one of the strategic priorities in Australia to meet the demands of law enforcement, national and state governments, defence, security, and finance industries. Jobs of the future will be in all these areas, ensuring there is a national capability to maintain and build our essential services and stop them from being disrupted, destroyed, or threatened, and that our personal information is not shared or utilised without our permission.
The Master of Computer Science (Cyber Security) provides a solid foundation to help you solve practical cyber security problems and learn how to keep pace with innovations in cyber security technology.

The Master of Computer Science gives graduates the ability to solve complex real-world problems by integrating computer science methods with effective management strategies, and by developing and deploying computer applications.
