Course Overview

Protecting information and IT infrastructure from complex and evolving cyber-threats is a critical challenge for modern organisations. The responsibility to prevent and respond to cyber-attacks falls to cybersecurity professionals, and global demand for highly trained cybersecurity professionals is at an all-time high and is expected to increase over time.

The Bachelor of Cybersecurity is a three-year full-time course (144 credit points) that provides you with a broad understanding of cybersecurity principles, theory and practice. You will be exposed to real-life case studies on cutting-edge cybersecurity scenarios and trained on state-of-the-art cybersecurity tools and techniques.

Specific knowledge and skills that you will gain throughout the course include cybersecurity fundamentals, cyber law, secure software development, cyber risk management, network security and digital forensics. Other areas covered include project management, basic mathematics and computer networking.

In addition to the core subject areas you can choose electives in specialised units such as critical infrastructure security, embedded systems security and trustworthy systems.

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course you will be able to:

They will develop personal values and practices that are ethically grounded and that embrace diversity, fairness and social and environmental responsibility in local and global contexts.
Communication skillsBe aware of and sensitive to specific situations and audiences when presenting and exchanging information, ideas and concepts. They will demonstrate highly developed speaking, listening and writing skills and will be able to influence others with well-articulated and soundly backed analyses and opinions in a respectful, inclusive and constructive manner.
Critical thinking and problem solvingA critical thinker whose curiosity and creativity leads them to question ideas and assumptions, draw upon evidence and analyse complex scenarios as they formulate their own conclusions and innovative solutions to current and future challenges.
Information and Digital literacyBe able to identify, locate, analyse and use reliable information effectively and create and convey information in appropriate formats and through effective channels. They will be comfortable utilising a range of digital technologies that are needed to live, learn and work in contemporary society.
Self-management and developmentBe self-aware and self-directed with the capacity to set priorities, manage time and work independently. They will be confident in their knowledge and skills, but also reflective and continually striving for personal and professional improvement as life-long learners.
Teamwork and collaborationHave the capacity to engage productively with others and contribute as a member of a team to a common goal. This will be demonstrated by a high order of competency in navigating team dynamics, encouraging the exchange of ideas and viewpoints, facilitating conflict resolution, negotiation skills and taking a lead when required.

Approach to Teaching, Learning and Assessment

The Bachelor of Cybersecurity will develop your knowledge and skills in the discipline, building towards an authentic work integrated learning (WIL) experience that allows you to apply what you have learnt to real world problems in a professional context and environment. It embeds a collaborative and technology-enabled active learning approach that encourages your participation in the learning process, peer to peer learning and ongoing reflection.

Following a thorough orientation, you will participate in small class groups where you are encouraged to collaborate, exchange ideas, learn from each other and reflect on your learning, both in the classroom and through the collaborative online learning environment.

The typical weekly process begins with you speculating about a problem or scenario that you have been given before the scheduled on-campus, face-to-face class, then actively engage with the class and reflect on the same problem or scenario. Classes themselves are interactive, with regular anonymous polls and multiple-choice questions to encourage active participation. Following the class, you will document your problem-solving process or reflection on the scenario in an online journal. In this way, using the principles of adult learning, you immediately apply your work to problem-solving, and develop into reflective practitioners. The scenarios and problems, along with the class material, are available to you anytime and anywhere through the online learning management system (LMS). You are also encouraged to engage with your peers through multiple opportunities to collaborate and to interact in the classroom and online.

In preparing for major assessments, you will regularly participate in authentic, experiential learning activities. These may be computer laboratory classes, practical exercises such as building a secure network or engaging in an ethical hacking activity, team-based projects or real-world work integrated learning experiences such as working for a client in an industry project or through a work placement.

AAHE’s active learning approach guides the design of units and their content and activities. The assessments build from this approach and are carefully mapped against the unit and course learning outcomes, establishing clear alignment and assuring that the learning outcomes are achieved.

The design of assessments incorporates smaller formative assessment tasks that enable you to receive regular feedback and stay on track, culminating into one or more summative assessments that measure your learning, skills acquisition and the extent to which you are meeting the units’ intended learning outcomes.

WIL Requirements

This course has options for work integrated learning units that involve working on an industry project for a real client or undertaking a placement that involves attending a workplace of an approved host organisation. In such cases, you may be required to undertake a police check, working with children check, immunisation check, or other checks as required.
