 BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (CYBER SECURITY)

The Bachelor of Computer Science (Cyber Security) aims to prepare graduates to develop secure computers and
computer networks, to ensure that the data stored and transmitted through them is protected from unauthorised
access or to combat digital security threats and hazards. Moreover, with the advent of Internet of Things (IOT), both
the public and private sectors are faced with new types of threats, new vulnerabilities, and hacking techniques and
agents. IoT has hugely disrupted the traditional concept of digital security and introduced a more intricate concept:
the concept of cybersecurity. There is a crucial need for talented cybersecurity professionals to address these issues.
Skills derived from this major are in demand across all sectors: from banking to finance, insurance, retail, government
and defence, all fields where there is sensitive data and information that is at risk of being hacked and breached via
the internet.

Learning Outcomes
In addition to meeting the program learning outcomes of the Bachelor of Computer Science, students graduating from
the Cyber Security major will further be able to:
• Apply the core fundamentals of cyber security to real world situations.
• Assess cyber security problems and vulnerabilities in software, computers, and networks and select
appropriate security measures.

aggregate of at least 192 Credit Points (cp), which includes two general electives chosen from the general education
subjects, in addition to one more general education subjects, for a total of 198 (cp). In addition, completes a 12-week
(full-time) professional experience. Students are also required to accrue an overall weighted average mark (WAM) of
50%. This degree requirement is only applicable to students joining Autumn 2021 intake and onwards

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the major in Civil Engineering, graduates of this major will be able to:
1. Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the engineering principles underpinning
structures, water engineering, construction materials, geotechnics, and surveying within the context of
construction and detailed and conceptual multi-disciplinary design.
2. Identify, and predict the behaviour of building materials and utilise them appropriately and cost-effectively in
construction.
3. Utilise sophisticated engineering analysis, software and design tools to simulate the real world including
computer aided design and modelling of engineering systems.

Mechanical Engineering has the broadest scope of all the branches of engineering, and graduates in this field have the core
skills to adapt to other fields of engineering if they wish to do so. Our BEng (Hons) - Mechanical Engineering program is
designed to provide the educational requirements which lead to professional mechanical engineers. The courses develop
discipline-specific knowledge and understanding through the teaching of the core mechanical engineering subjects;
engineering maths and computation, mechanics of materials, mechanics of machines, dynamics and vibrations, materials
science and manufacturing, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, CAD and engineering design
