Bachelor of Criminology / Bachelor of Cyber Security - (Dual Degree)

Program Overview

In our increasingly digital world, cyber security is a significant challenge for individuals and businesses alike. This course will equip you with an understanding of the major drivers of criminal behaviour, along with the industry-relevant skills to tackle what is quickly becoming a critical threat to society. You will gain expertise in securing data and data communications, as well as investigating and providing solutions to cybercrime.

Develop strong practical and theoretical knowledge, with an emphasis on assessing cyber security in a working environment, developing security solutions for businesses, and understanding the ethical and legal implications of risk management.

You will have access to specialised cyber security labs with state-of-the-art tools, putting you at the cutting edge of cyber security and criminology research.

Are you ready to join the fight against cybercrime?

Designed in conjunction with leading organisations in the field, including Victoria Police and the Australian Crime Commission, this double degree will equip you with in-demand industry skills valued by employers.

The unique partnership of criminology and cyber security provides you with a thorough understanding of the motivations, causes and consequences of crime, as well as the technical skills and cyber security literacy to help prevent and combat cybercrime and cyber terrorism.

Get practical learning with our careers-focused units, which allow you to bridge theory with practice and better understand how criminological thinking applies across industries and sectors.

You will have access to our brand-new specialised capstone project and co-working space, which offers you an inspiring environment to collaborate with your teammates. As part of your cyber security stream, you will undertake two capstone units – allowing you to develop solutions to real-world problems from industry and learn agile project management methods widely used across industry.

Our past students have collaborated on capstone projects such as:

Is my smart home secure enough?
Virtual penetration testing lab
One-time pad (OTP) VPN
Voice-activated password security
Secure Australian online voting system.

The course focuses on developing skills in digital forensics, information security, penetration testing, security operations, threat intelligence and vulnerability assessment.
