Overview

Master of Cybersecurity

Hacking, cybercrime and defence strategies; welcome to the world of cybersecurity. Now and in the years to come, cybersecurity experts will be in high demand.

La Trobe's Master of Cybersecurity prepares you for a successful career in this fast-growing field, whether you have an IT background or not.

Industry leaders have carefully designed the degree to give you a strong foundation in cybersecurity, inviting you to specialise in computer science, business operations or artificial intelligence.

Build fundamental skills in system design, implementation, testing and documentation. 

Develop technical expertise in pen testing, blockchain and cyber forensics, and get hands-on experience applying your knowledge in the state-of-the-art Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless labs. 

You'll also hone your networking skills in La Trobe's CISCO networking and security labs.

Cybersecurity is about so much more than just technology. 

This degree explores the psychology of hacking and cybercrime, the legal and ethical frameworks you'll work within, and approaches to governance and risk management.

Begin building your career while you study. 

Industry-based learning opportunities embedded throughout this degree give you the chance to not only build practical experience but also start developing your professional network. 

For example, you'll work on an actual industry project alongside the industry partners, undertake a professional placement, or, if you're working towards a research career, complete a thesis on emerging topics in cybersecurity.
