Why study a postgraduate degree in IT and network engineering?
Complement your current skill set with a postgraduate qualification in data science, cyber security, software engineering and information systems, all in-demand areas within the industry.
In a digital economy, data is crucial. It is the foundation for an organisation's innovation, growth and success. As a result, data science is a now a highly valuable, sought-after skill. The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute's Data Science Review 2023 found that there is unmet demand for competent data scientists and the market is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Data science is also ranked in the top five highest paying and in-demand occupations.
To protect this valuable data, there is growing demand for highly skilled cyber security experts. Technology-related crime is on the rise as businesses, governments and even everyday Australians face threats from hackers. Similarly to data science, cyber security is an ideal field of specialisation to future-proof your career.
As our dependence on technology grows stronger, job opportunities will continue to flourish in this space.
