Master of Intelligence with the degree of Master of Cyber Security

Good intelligence and intelligence analysis has never been more important than it is now, particularly in its relation to cyber security. Cyber security is always in the spotlight, whether it's a story about data breaches or election hacking. Cyber criminals pose a risk to everyone and every organisation and add new dimensions and challenges to the intelligence sector. Governments and businesses need staff who have a broad range of cyber security and intelligence skills to tackle both cybercrime and other domestic, regional and global intelligence challenges.

Our double degree brings together perspectives in risk, IT, finance, law, governance, psychology, policing and intelligence, providing you with a multidisciplinary skill set that will enable you to lead more effective responses to both cyber security and intelligence challenges.

Key Features

• You’ll benefit from Macquarie’s close partnerships in the security sector, for example the Optus Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub.
• You can choose from three specialisations: Cyber Security Analysis, which focuses on policy, policing and strategic dimensions; Cyber Governance and Management, which examines the business and corporate dimensions of cyber security; or Internetworking, which will provide you with advanced technology and programming skills.
• Simulated learning which reproduces the multidisciplinary expert panels that are frequently employed by government and industry in response to intelligence and cyber security issues will enable you to develop your technical skills.
