Meet our graduates
We have a cybersecurity lab with tools you'd usually pay thousands of dollars to access. We're taught by industry people as well as academics – one of my professors is currently at Microsoft – and you hear about opportunities you wouldn't otherwise. There are lots of opportunities because there's a huge demand for people with these kinds of skills.
I moved to Melbourne in 2020 during a very challenging time, and I decided to pursue a Master of Cybersecurity at La Trobe University. Two and half years later, I have successfully completed the degree with an overall High Distinction score, which included two full time internships with consulting and cybersecurity firms.
I am presently working as a Cyber-Security Analyst with one of the leading banks in Australia. I would like to thank all of my professors and tutors for their valuable support. Choosing La Trobe was one of the best decisions of my life.
