Master of Cybersecurity at University of South Australia

Join a growing industry tasked with protecting critical IT infrastructure and information. Cybersecurity is an essential component of a modern, prosperous and safe society. Like many other nations, Australia is suffering from a cybersecurity skills shortage. These particular skills are essential in our connected, technology-enabled world. Taught by industry professionals and world-class lecturers, you will develop the skills and expertise required to assess, design and implement enterprise wide cybersecurity. In a final year Cybersecurity Exercise you will devise and implement a defence strategy for a complex enterprise environment. UniSA has partnered with Optus to establish a Cyber Security Research and Collaboration Hub at Lot Fourteen to educate Australia's next generation of cybersecurity and data science specialists. The alliance will deliver multi-disciplinary education courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students, along with the creation of a joint research and innovation fund to develop and attract innovation to South Australia. You will study a range of core and technical courses including network infrastructure, security governance, web and cloud security, and cybersecurity risk and compliance. You will also complete two capstone courses: Security Architecture: apply cybersecurity defence strategies and security testing techniques to a complex IT environment and develop presentation methods for communicating technical topics to a lay audience. Professional Project: work in a structured project team, gaining practical experience in contemporary cybersecurity techniques and practices.
