Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours) - International Cybersecurity
Studying International Cybersecurity will prepare you for a range of specialist cybersecurity roles with a global perspective. From a system administrator or engineer designing, configuring, and maintaining a secure system; a programmer or application developer building secure, fault-tolerant software systems; to a web specialist assessing risks and determining how best to reduce the potential impact of breached systems. From a user support technician assessing concerns surrounding desktop computing; to a project manager calculating the cost and benefit trade-offs in implementing secure systems. With industry integrated learning, you’ll gain the practical skills and knowledge to lead creation, implementation and management of secure computer systems across a range of exciting career paths, protecting people and their data from cyber-attacks as you draw on your studies across law, policy, ethics and risk management.
