Computing technology is reshaping society in ways that often have unexpected or unwanted impacts. We are creating new ways of thinking in computing that help Australia and the world harness the potential benefits of computing and mitigate the harms that can follow from its adoption.
RMIT’s discipline of Cybersecurity and Software Systems focuses on the key issues in large-scale computing infrastructure. We investigate how to create secure, high-performance online systems that balance robust privacy with sophisticated functionality.
Our people work on the places where people and technology overlap, including how people and society are affected by computing technology, and how to better educate technologists.
RMIT's courses include input from industry representatives and cover key areas such as cloud computing, big data, mobile computing, application programming, security, web systems, games and multimedia. RMIT is ranked in the world’s top 100 universities for computer science and information systems.
