Overview

Bachelor of Cybersecurity

Corporations and governments are searching for qualified cybersecurity professionals who can defend and protect against malicious online threats and cybercrime. 

There's never been a better time to join this in-demand field with a job growth rate than three times the national average*.

La Trobe's Bachelor of Cybersecurity offers you the opportunity to step into the rapidly evolving digital world of cybersecurity.

You'll build a highly specialised technical skillset as you learn about the history of hacking, develop your coding expertise, and access industry-based projects and mentoring opportunities with major corporations.

You'll also have the opportunity to complement your industry-focused learning with a choice of advanced electives in IT, business, law, policy and strategic communication.

Capstone subjects are required subjects in your course or major that help you integrate and apply the knowledge and skills you gain to solve real-world problems. 

Capstone subjects are often taken towards the end of your course.
