As digital innovation continues to rapidly advance, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to keep up with the changing nature of cybersecurity threats. Traditional protection methods and tools are no longer enough to cope with security dynamics, sophisticated attackers, an expanding attack surface, the explosion of data and growing infrastructure complexity. The Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence graduate certificate program is designed to prepare graduates to meet the high demand for cybersecurity professionals, setting them apart by embedding artificial intelligence into cybersecurity.  

In the final semester, students undertake an industry-supervised capstone project, applying their skills and knowledge to address real-world challenges. These projects are presented at an exhibition attended by industry professionals, community leaders, faculty and peers. The program also offers valuable opportunities to engage with a wider professional community through guest lectures, networking events and applied research in collaboration with industry partners.
