Cyber Network Security (major)

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. With the ongoing challenges of national cyber security, it is critically important to secure our national infrastructure such as energy, transport, food, water and services such as healthcare, education, emergency services and finance.

Jobs of the future will be in all of these sectors, and we need to ensure there is 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 communicated, shared, visualised or analysed without our permission. In this major you will study subjects in ethical hacking, communication systems, engineering design, electronics, digital hardware, web technology and signals and systems.
