With over one million job openings globally, cyber security professionals are in significant demand. As the evolution of the threat landscape accelerates with rapid information technology change, universities and training institutions have been tasked with considering how to close the widening skills gap and ensure that their graduates are well-armed to keep pace.

The new Master of Cyber Security program at University of Queensland (UQ) will do just that, meeting the need for deep technical specialisation in core areas such as cyber defence and cyber criminology.

UQ’s Chair and Director of Cyber Security Professor Ryan Ko said students would learn from some of the best minds in software engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, business, criminology, and law and ethics.
