Master of Engineering (Cyber Engineering and Telecommunications) (LMEL)
University of South Australia (UniSA)
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00121B
The only master’s degree of its type in Australia, this program will prepare you to perform design, cybersecurity, research and development, and analytics roles with government agencies, defence contractors or IoT companies. It may also lead to a career in research, with a PhD in space, telecommunications, software, systems or satellite engineering, or the engineering of secure emerging technologies.In your first year you’ll study specialist courses covering topics such as big data concepts, systems engineering, critical infrastructure and control system security, cryptography and data protection, and digital communications.In second year you’ll take further specialist cyber engineering and telecommunications courses including telecommunications and device security, statistical programming for data science, information theory and coding and mobile communications and wireless access.Also key to this degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your minor thesis.Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.
