Master of Cyber Security overview

The Master of Cyber Security is for professionals in the field who desire more complete knowledge of its intricacies. These courses will typically have units on identity management, asset security, risk management, security operations and more over its two year full time duration, ending with a thesis.

Employment options

Graduates from these programs will find themselves very well equipped for the specialisations mentioned here. Working as a security architect for Cyberark, for instance, is made easier by units in project management and security practice. Units in network and security engineering practice are ideal for those aspiring to work for Proofpoint or SecureWorks as network security specialists. The Master of Cyber Security is valuable when taking on any specialisation.

Scholarships and funding

Master of Cyber Security students have some scholarship opportunities, but these are rare. The IEEE Computer Society Cyber Security Scholarship provided by Edith Cowan University covers 20% of tuition fees, but has extensive prerequisites beyond just GPA. With this in mind students also ought to consider general scholarships, such as the Endeavour Scholarships and Fellows initiative. These sorts of programs are rarely full coverage, but are readily available to those across most disciplines who meet their requirements.

Prerequisites and selection process

A prior bachelor degree in engineering, computer science, information systems or equivalent is mandatory for entry. Courses like those offered by RMIT demand at least three years of relevant work experience in the event an applicant has an insufficient GPA (below 2.0 on a 4-point scale).
