Think like a hacker. As the Internet of Things continues to grow exponentially, cybercrime is growing with it. In Australia, an average of one cybercrime report is made every ten minutes. To keep our communities safe, it's critical to understand cybercriminals' psychology, craft effective defences and stay one step ahead. In La Trobe's Bachelor of Cybersecurity/Bachelor of Psychological Science, you'll build a career at the nexus of two rapidly evolving sciences and learn how to combat the constantly evolving threat of cybercrime. In this distinctive combination of study areas, you can pursue a career as a professional psychologist (after further postgraduate study) or build a career within the growing field of cybersecurity. Learn from experts in world-class facilities, including our Cyber Security Research Hub - one of the largest cybersecurity research hubs in Victoria.
