Cyber Engineering and Telecommunications

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.
