Linux skills are taught throughout the course, starting with the basics and progressing to advanced topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This degree is designed to prepare you for careers in computing. As such, Curtin works closely with industry partners to optimise course content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cyber Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This major focuses on the key concepts and challenges in data protection and computer software security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will examine both the high- and low-level practical aspects of computer security. High-level aspects include cryptography theory, data access policy development and security program management. Low-level aspects include computer forensics, network intrusion detection and incident handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduates have the skills to identify and implement appropriate applications for specific scenarios, as well as an understanding of issues related to the protection of individual rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why study<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are seeking a career in computing, this course is designed for you. You\u2019ll learn industry-standard coding, with enough hands-on experience to be job ready, while also gaining the theory that will enable you to keep pace with the rapid change of the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What you\u2019ll learn<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"first-capitalize\">\n<li>Implement processes based on best practice when designing and implementing software<\/li>\n<li>Evaluate standard algorithms, techniques, and technologies relating to cyber security in a manner that is appropriate for a given problem and think critically and creatively to generate innovative and optimum theoretical and practical solutions<\/li>\n<li>Identify, evaluate and synthesise information from a range of computing sources to optimise the process of software design and implementation<\/li>\n<li>Document software and security activities and artefacts and communicate them in written and oral form to both technical and non-technical audiences and communicate effectively in ways appropriate to the audience and purpose<\/li>\n<li>Effectively use new and existing technologies, especially those relating to cyber security, recognising their advantages and limitations<\/li>\n<li>Sustain intellectual curiosity by updating their knowledge, engage in continuous training and research, and take control of their own learning and development<\/li>\n<li>Recognise and apply IEEE\/ACM\/ACS standards in the process of software design and development as well as the ACSC and ISO27000 series standards for cyber security<\/li>\n<li>Contribute to society using technology in a secure, ethical, legal, and socially responsible manner<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrate initiative, leadership and ethical practice when working independently and collaboratively<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"course-structure\">Course Structure<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Credits needed to graduate: 600.<\/strong><br>Each unit is 25 credits unless stated
