You'll learn the theories, principles, practices and technologies of cybersecurity and gain knowledge and understanding of the principles underpinning effective approaches to cyber defence.
The course emphasises important technical material that will help you make effective cybersecurity decisions, and addresses issues such as: identity; trust and reputation; cryptography; network security; malware and intrusion detection; risk management; and the development of high-assurance systems.
If you are interested in pursuing a career in industry or government, this course will provide you with a broad education in cybersecurity, which will allow you to make technically informed principled decisions.
This course will also prepare you if you are seeking a research career in cybersecurity; a research skills module is a mandatory part of the course.
