Graduate Certificate
Cyber security involves the creation, analysis, testing and operation of secure computing devices, computer networks and applications. It relies on technology, people, information and processes to enable secure operations in the context of adversaries.
The Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security includes four core subjects: python programming for cyber security, databases and security, cyber security risk and risk management, and web security.
This degree provides a solid foundation which will help you to solve practical cyber security problems and learn how to keep pace with innovations in cyber security technology.
These advanced courses lead to specialist roles such as ethical hacker/penetration tester, digital forensics analyst, cryptographer, security consultant, security architect, information security manager or chief information security officer.
Applicants who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security will receive 24 credit points of specified credit into the Master of Computer Science (Cyber Security).
