Dynamic and vibrant, the University of Canberra (UC) is embedded deep in the soul of Canberra. Canberra is a place where ideas are born, creativity is explored and opportunity is created.

The university's home in Canberra and connection with their neighbouring communities shapes their purpose as a university. Their success is in part due to their two-pronged focus, encompassing progressive teaching and learning, as well as strong ties to industry. The latter means that students enjoy real-world work experience, internships, and placements; meaning UC students get a taste for their future careers, even before graduation.

Currently, UC offers three cyber security focused qualifications – a  Undergraduate Specialist Majors in Cybersecurity and System Administration, a Postgraduate Specialist Majors in Cybersecurity and System Administration, and a Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security Management.
