Graduate with an official postgraduate qualification in as little as six months

New cyber threats are always emerging, which is why it’s more important than ever to have cyber security professionals capable of thinking outside the box. As a cyber security professional, you will be at the forefront of security and cyber resilience across the cyberspace, where you will solve complex problems, analyse new threats and reach new ambitious goals.

The Cyber Security and Resilience Bootcamp will enable you to build your professional proficiency in the cyber security space. This intensive course will focus on teaching you how to use tools and techniques that drive security strategies. You will also learn the fundamental skills of cyber security and information security management, and how to successfully secure an enterprise network.

Practical experience is at the core of your Bootcamp, with units focused heavily on giving you the hands-on skills to solve real-world industry issues. You will also connect with employers who will help you navigate your future as a cyber security expert.

In as little as six months, you can become a key asset to any organisation in an industry that continues to grow. With an abundance of opportunities out there, you could be leading the build of security networks as a cyber security architect or developing security practices and protocols as a cyber security engineer.
