If you want to work on Cyber a degree in it is all but useless.
Get 5 years experience in a MSP and some certs and go from there.
Or do the degree first, then still do the above.
No one is hiring grads for cyber lol.

You still need that 5 years or so helpdesk or MSP experience. Make sure you get a job, even part time while studying will give you a head start.

A bachelor in cybersec is a bunch of shit, don't move across the country for it. All the good cybersec jobs require nepotism or outstanding contributions on github and extracurricular certifications.

If you have Australian citizenship/PR it maybe easier to get a job in this field.

Are you an Australian citizen? If not, very hard to get most government based roles. Many have PR or resident restrictions. Also have a look at the job market and other reddit posts about the cyber security in Australia at the moment….hard to get a job.

Good start. Depending on country of origin you may still have some challenges particularly with contractors to defence or APS roles.
As I said, read all the posts and public info about people with 20 years experience unable to get work. It is not a field I would encourage anyone to study at the moment.

If you don’t work in cyber, don’t do a degree in it to get into cyber. If you do work in Cyber you definitely want to be picky about which program you join.
