Designed in collaboration with industry partners, our Master of Cybersecurity (Law) aims to keep pace with the information security demands of business, government, defence, law enforcement, and law firms. The need for cybersecurity legal specialists and an understanding of privacy and regulations is becoming increasingly important. The governance of the digital space calls for professionals with knowledge of legal and ethical contexts and technical expertise. Students will learn to apply practical skills to policy formation, policing and international relations. Students will do foundation subjects covering the fundamentals of cybersecurity, communication networks, crisis communication, auditing and risk mitigation, and legal and ethical frameworks. Within the law specialisation, students will learn the importance of surveillance and privacy in the digital age as well as the threat of cyber terrorism and international warfare. This degree provides a pathway for business and legal professionals seeking to commence or progress their careers in cybersecurity.
