Bachelor of Computing (Cyber Security)

This major provides coverage of the key concepts and challenges in data and resource protection and computer software security. There is a focus on both the high level (e.g. cryptography theory and data access policy development and security program management) and low level practical (e.g. computer forensics, network intrusion detection and incident handling) aspects of computer security. The addition of programming techniques differentiates this major from more policy-based options.

Graduates from the major will have a high level of knowledge of computer systems and processes involved in software development and design. The aim of this major is to prepare the students for the areas of ICT stated to be most in demand and for positions that are most difficult to fill.
