The School of Computer Science is proposing a new Honours undergraduate degree: the Bachelor of Cybersecurity (BCSec). The program is designed to be a national magnet for high-achieving students who are strongly interested in a career in security. The main educational goal of the program is to prepare students to take on security-expert roles in government and industry. The program is focusing on a particular segment of the job market for security specialistsand mostly avoids covering “IT-department” work. While our program will need to expose students to some of the existing technologies, the focus will be giving students a deeper understanding of the broad range of current and anticipated future threats, and defenses against them. A typical job for a graduate would be as a security expert on a software development team, or as a member of a unit or organization specializing in computer/internet security.
