About the course

At UNB you will enjoy learning from cutting-edge expert Computer Scientists in a long-standing program, the Faculty of Computer Science (FCS) at the UNB?s Fredericton Campus was the first computer science faculty in Canada. Our students enjoy working and collaborating with top faculty who are nationally and internationally renowned in their field. Our recent graduates have gone on to work at companies such as IBM, Ciena, Alcatel-Lucent and Ernst & Young, as well as to careers in academia. Training and education in cybersecurity falls far short of current needs, and what will be required in the future. Worldwide, there are 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 10.5 trillion by 2025. 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).
