What our students say
“I liked that most lecturers were visiting lecturers, so they also ran their own companies outside of the University. This meant they had up-to-date knowledge and experience in cyber security in the real world. With cyber space rapidly changing and threats evolving, these lectures were informative, and the information was transferrable.
The intensive courses were also a great part of the program. I am a real hands-onlearner,and it was good to be able to come and get some experience in a face-to-face environment.”
