Masters Qualifying Program (MQP), Leading to Master of Information Systems and Technology - Information Security

Program Overview

The Master Qualifying Program (MQP) is a one-semester non-award program designed for students who already have a tertiary qualification but who do not qualify for direct entry into a Master’s degree at Curtin University. The emphasis is on developing the skills necessary to succeed in postgraduate-level studies.

Leading to: Master of Information Systems and Technology

Effective management of information and communication is critical to business success. This master degree will prepare you for careers leading and enhancing the ICT capabilities of organisations.

During the course you will gain technical skills in programming, data communications, database design, and system analysis and design.

You'll build expertise in the management and application of information systems and technology, and examine the impact of technology on the changing business environment – with a particular focus on AI and its adoption in business.

What you'll learn

recommend and manage innovative uses of technology and data driven approaches to improve business and societal outcomes locally and globally
evaluate the impact of existing and emerging information and communications technologies on stakeholders, including cultural, ethical, inclusivity, privacy, security and sustainability considerations
engage stakeholders and access, evaluate and synthesise information from multiple sources to identify business requirements
apply systems theory and systems development techniques to design and develop information systems appropriate to a range of business organisations and to participate effectively in a global environment
effectively communicate information and system business cases, requirements, policies and procedures, strategies, system designs, specifications and implementation details to a professional standard

Specialisation: Information Security

Businesses today increasingly seek the expertise of information security professionals. They require experts who can evaluate organisational security measures, and develop and recommend security measures to safeguard critical assets.

In this Master of Information Systems and Technology specialisation, you’ll learn how to analyse, design and implement robust security measures across diverse computer systems and networks.

You’ll develop the skills to evaluate and counteract emerging cyber threats. You'll learn about the threat landscape and common attack vectors, and use cutting-edge tools to detect, prevent and mitigate attacks.

You will also craft effective security policies and procedures that meet industry standards and legal requirements, and learn how to foster a culture of security awareness and accountability among users, IT staff and management.

To complete the course, you’ll conduct a formal cybersecurity audit on a real-world business and present information security recommendations. You can also gain real-world experience and global exposure by completing an internship or international study tour.
