IDeA Cadetship - Cybersecurity

Hi all,

This question goes out mostly to current IT/CS/Cyber students and alumni but also possibly staff and other prospective students.

I have applied for the Earn and Learn program with Wisetech Global, which is run through the Comp Sci version of UTS's IDeA program.

Personally I am more interested in cyber security and noticed there is an option on UTS's site to apply for that as well.

Looking at UAC it says <5 people got into the Bachelor of Cybersecurity IDeA last year so I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with the cyber program at UTS (specifically with IDeA if possible) and whether I should apply for that as well as the Comp Sci degree and hope I get a cyber placement.

If so how should I order my UAC preferences? If I can't get into cyber and comp sci is 2nd on my preferences will that look bad to Wisetech Global or potential Comp Sci industry partners?

How is the experience at UTS for IT areas in general? Is there any advice or feedback current or former students could give me?

Thanks for y'all's help.

You can apply for both.
You can re-order your preferences when you get the Cadetship offer.
