Cyber Security

If you hold an undergraduate degree in information or communication technology, have strong problem-solving abilities and basic research experience, and have received some networking training, this post-graduate certificate is aimed at you.

During the programme you will work in labs and on projects that identify network and computer system vulnerabilities, conduct ethical hacks to assess risk, and create organisational cyber-security plans. Each week combines theoretical sessions with hands-on lab work, allowing you to apply concepts immediately and receive feedback from industry-experienced instructors. You will use your own laptop, meeting minimum specifications, to practise penetration testing, security analysis, forensic investigation, web security, and security administration.

The certificate builds practical knowledge for the digital growth industry.
