Work-integrated learning
Students must complete a 20 credit point Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course in their final year of Pathway 1 (2 years) or Pathway 2 (1.5 years). WIL has been designed to integrate students into the workplace through the completion of an industry-based work, which is designed to benefit both the student and the industry partner. WIL can be taken as either a Placement or team-based project. With Placement, students are placed with an industry partner where students attend their placement 2 days a week to produce the deliverable(s) for that organisation. With team project, students are assigned into a team to work on a project from an industry partner. With either choice, students use their placement or team project as a vehicle to apply what they have learned in their program and demonstrate independent and life-long learning on the job.
The inclusion of work-integrated learning in this program demonstrates Griffith's commitment to preparing its graduates for success in their working life.
My career opportunities
This program will expose you to the skills and knowledge appropriate for a career in the cyber security industry. You will be equipped for potential career opportunities as a cyber security analyst, cyber security architect, cyber security manager, forensic computer analyst, security consultant, and security and compliance auditor. Cyber security is a key issue and you can find possible employment in government and private industries.
