Master of Cyber Security and Forensics

The Master of Cyber Security and Forensics is a two-year postgraduate degree that develops advanced technical, investigative, analytical, and professional skills for the cybersecurity industry. The program examines how cyber threats affect individuals, organisations, and governments, while preparing students to investigate digital incidents and analyse evidence from computers, networks, and other technologies.

Students study cybersecurity fundamentals, digital investigation ethics, device and network security, cryptography, blockchain security, cyber laws, and rules of evidence. They also develop complementary skills in programming, data management, evidence-based decision-making, and project management. The program concludes with research or industry dissertation work, allowing students to investigate a cybersecurity-related problem in greater depth.

The course is suited to graduates who want to build or advance a career in cyber defence, digital investigations, network security, and forensic analysis. Applicants normally need an undergraduate degree from a recognised higher education institution that includes technology-related coursework, or an equivalent qualification.
