Macquarie has always considered our students to be co-creators in their learning. One of the most exciting developments in our new curriculum is around your ability to study two degrees at once.

In this double degree, you will be able to combine:

• Master of Business Analytics: This comprehensive, flexible degree has a strong focus on the real-world application of business analytics tools and techniques. You’ll develop your knowledge and understanding of computer programming, databases, applied statistics and machine learning techniques applied to big data. You’ll become adept at recognising the importance of ethical reasoning in the solution of analytic-related problems. And you’ll learn how to collaborate and communicate effectively with diverse teams to achieve a range of purposes in different contexts.
• Master of Information Technology in Cyber Security: This technical degree provides up-to-date knowledge and practical training for a successful career in the burgeoning field of cyber security. Completing this degree will arm you with technical skills in cryptography, networks, artificial intelligence and mobile data communications.

Key Features

• Double degrees fast-track your study – you usually complete double degrees one or even two years faster than you would undertaking both degrees on their own. This not only saves you time but money as well.
• This comprehensive degree will enable you to understand cybersecurity from a technical computing perspective.
• Macquarie is ranked among the world’s top 250 institutions for computer science and information systems (QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2018).
• You’ll benefit from additional activities, such as hackathons, that will help you to consolidate and apply your knowledge to real-world issues.
• You’ll benefit from our collaboration with major companies in the Macquarie Park Innovation District (MPID), including with Optus through the Optus Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub – a $10 million joint investment, which promotes a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to tackle real-world challenges in cyber security.

Macquarie Business School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), so you’ll be studying with a globally recognised institution. AACSB recognises the School wide focus on excellence in teaching, research, curriculum development and student learning.
