Training and education in cybersecurity falls far short of current needs, and what will be required in the future. Worldwide by 2021, there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions. Such skills shortage leaves the public, private sectors, and governments vulnerable. Moreover, the global cost of cyber- attacks is believed to grow to $2.1 trillion by 2020. With these figures in mind, we need to develop talent in Cybersecurity – and fast! The Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) at the University of New Brunswick is using 20+ years of cyber- security innovation and talent development to provide a one-year Master of Applied Cybersecurity (MACSec).

The Faculty of Computer Science and CIC are partnering to develop talent – ready to contribute as cybersecurity experts.

The program is structured in three semesters (Fall, Winter, and Summer) for a total duration of one year. The topics explored throughout the graduate program in cybersecurity include:

  • Advanced data communications and networking
  • Cryptanalysis and database security
  • Fundamentals of information assurance
  • Foundations of privacy
  • Network security
  • Software security
  • Digital forensics elective + capstone project
  • Condensed training, R&D project

What I enjoyed most about UNB's Master of Education was exploring educational leadership from a broader perspective. I learned about different leadership theories, organizational change, supervision, and the challenges involved in creating a positive learning culture. We also discussed how leaders can respond to culturally diverse school communities and support teachers through periods of change. The program helped me develop a much more thoughtful approach to leadership and prepared me to take on greater responsibility in education.

My MEd experience at the University of New Brunswick really changed the way I think about curriculum and teaching. I learned how to assess learner needs, develop clear instructional goals, select appropriate materials, and adapt curriculum to different classroom contexts. The research courses were also valuable because I became much more confident evaluating educational research and using evidence to support my teaching decisions. I appreciated that so much of the coursework connected theory directly to practical challenges educators face.
