Bachelor of Cyber Security

RMIT’s three‑year Bachelor of Cyber Security degree equips you with both theoretical grounding and hands‑on skills needed to protect digital systems in today’s threat-filled world. In your first year, you’ll master decision-making frameworks, ethical considerations, and foundational ICT knowledge through the distinctive Bootcamp‑to‑Studio model .

In Year 2, the focus shifts to advanced areas—penetration testing, computer forensics, cloud security, secure e-commerce, and software fundamentals—supported by electives in AI, blockchain, networks, analytics, and entrepreneurship.

Your final year includes a capstone project in strategic cyber security, incident response, governance, and forensics, culminating in a comprehensive graduate portfolio.

Experiential learning is a core feature: you'll complete multiple Work‑Integrated Learning (WIL) subjects—industry-aligned projects and placements that connect you with employers, government, and community .

On completion, you’ll be ready for in-demand roles like Cyber Threat Analyst, Penetration Tester, Incident Responder, Intrusion Analyst, Malware Analyst, or Security Advisor across sectors such as finance, government, healthcare, and beyond.
