Master of Information Technology in Cyber Security

at University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus Australia

In this degree you will address today’s scientific issues and explore how humans interact with the environment, how we can manage it sustainably, and how we can better influence positive attitudes to bring about a better future for all.

What you'll learn

Your learning will cover biology, ecology, geography, earth and soil science, water and coasts, pollution monitoring, conservation, ecotourism and social sciences. To develop strong skills in an area that interests you, you can select from a range of environmental electives in second and third year to tailor your degree, whilst still maintaining a broad, comprehensive training in environmental sciences. All students will obtain a minor in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and, depending on elective choices, another minor in Community Engagement and majors in Ecology and Conservation or Environmental Quality and Earth Sciences.

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Mobile Application Development) will see you develop specialist expertise in the creation of software, with an emphasis on mobile applications and platforms.

During your first year of study you will gain a solid foundation in networking, database development, programming fundamentals and systems requirements and design, before focusing on your mobile application specialty that will you see you studying:

• IOS Enterprise Development
• Android Games Development
• Design Patterns with C++
• Agile Development and Governance
• Cloud and Concurrent Programming

This industry-relevant postgraduate qualification is for students who have already completed a three-year bachelor degree and would like to increase their employment prospects with an early childhood qualification.

The curriculum is practical in nature and is solely focused on the education of children from birth to eight years of age. Practical learning is a major component and you will complete four supervised placements in childcare, preschool/kindergarten and junior primary schools, totalling 80 days.

What you'll learn

This degree has been designed to develop skilled, committed and flexible early childhood educators.

The focus is on practical learning, particularly relating to the principles and concepts relevant to early childhood development and learning. You will focus on four major areas:

• Child development
• Curriculum studies
• Professional experience
• Education studies

This one year degree is for students who have completed a bachelor degree in a relevant field of science, technology, engineering, environmental science or health with a high level of academic achievement. This degree will train you to undertake research and help you to develop higher level scientific and problem-solving skills.

What you'll learn

Over the course of the year you will study courses in research methods, principles and ethics, as well as research project preparation. You will complete a research project that involves laboratory and/or field work, data collection and analysis, interpretation of your results in the context of current scientific literature, preparation of an Honours thesis and presentation of a final seminar to academics, student peers and relevant industry and government stakeholders.

You will also study advanced topics related to your field of study. This could include topics such as:

• environmental chemistry and pollution monitoring
• earth sciences including isotope geochemistry
• ecology including remnant habitats and climate refugia, environmental and park management
• surface chemistry
• physics and photonics

Mathematics can open doors to a wide range of careers with employers increasingly looking to quantify and understand data, seeking new and improved solutions to business, health, technological and societal challenges.

This degree creates work-ready professionals with sound knowledge in applied mathematics and strong multi-disciplinary skills. You will develop the analytical and problem-solving skills to play a valuable role in the growth of society.

What you'll learn

In first year you’ll study core sub jects in mathematics and IT. You will focus on building your mathematical and programming skills with courses that include calculus, statistical methods, algebra, and fundamentals of programming.

You will study multi-disciplinary areas such as mathematical modelling, data collection and analysis, applied probability, and the implementation of computer-driven solutions. You can also choose to study a minor in Information Technology or take electives from other natural sciences.

In your final year you’ll combine study and hands-on experience with the chance to take part in the Maths Clinic program. In Maths Clinic a team of students, supported by academic supervisors, works on a problem in close consultation with an industry partner. This will strengthen your abilities in research, analysis, interpretation of data, and communication.

You will undertake general studies in aviation including an introduction to human factors and safety management systems. You will do Flight Training Theory 1 and Commercial Pilot Theory, taught by instructors from the flight training provider. These courses prepare you for CASA Commercial Pilot Licence theory examinations.

As your studies progress you will explore more advanced and theoretical areas including meteorology, law, human factors, and aspects of the flight and performance of large aircraft systems. You will also study communication and aviation management. Your technical studies will include aerodynamics, heavy aircraft systems, navigation, and risk and safety management.

The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology (Cyber Security) aims to develop cyber security professionals with advanced knowledge in cyber security governance, risk and compliance (GRC). To ensure you graduate job-ready, significant consultation with industry has taken place to establish both the technical and non-technical expertise demanded by employers. In recent years, calls for cyber security professionals with a strong working-knowledge of GRC in complex organisational environments has significantly increased. As such, this program will build your professional proficiency, as well your ability to examine and implement a range of technology-based cyber security defences to address emerging threats and attacks.

What you'll learn

The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology (Cyber Security) has been designed to develop foundational, discipline specific knowledge in IT in your first semester of study. From there, you will complete courses that develop your knowledge in governance, risk management and compliance, business practices, network security and cyber criminal behaviour.

Civil and structural engineers are responsible for the infrastructure and resources that keep our cities, towns and rural areas functioning. They focus on the design and construction of buildings, bridges and other structural components of an infrastructure.

In this degree you’ll develop sophisticated skills in engineering research methods and project management which you will use on a major civil engineering design project, with industry representatives as your clients. You will also complete a master thesis.

What you'll learn

You will learn advanced structural and geotechnical civil engineering, developing the skills to:

• apply and synthesise civil engineering theories in solving practical infrastructure problems 

• create and design models to be used in infrastructure design and analysis 

• adapt data analysis methods at an advanced level

• utilise advanced modelling techniques to solve a range of practical problems in civil engineering

• develop advanced skills to communicate with civil engineering and related professional

This innovative Masters degree will give you a broad knowledge of IT disciplines and a solid foundation in business practices.

Taught by world-class lecturers, researchers and practitioners, you’ll learn about IT stakeholder engagement, business intelligence, business systems analysis and modelling, and the day-to-day operation of information systems.

What you Learn

You will study an industry relevant blend of business, IT and information systems course to develop a solid cross-disciplinary base of skills required for business analyst roles.

Towards the end of your study you’ll complete a major project where you’ll work in a structured project team, getting practical experience in contemporary IT techniques and practices.

What you'll learn
