The ANU Master of Cyber Security includes some law, national security
policy, and statecraft, as well as the more technical defensive and
offensive cyber operations topics:

ANU has staff from the Defense Department in residence. There is also a
ANU cyber security "reading group" each week, with pizza. The social
side of telecommunications security, which often gets overlooked by
technical people, is touched on in Dermot Turing's new book "X, Y & Z:
The Real Story of How Enigma Was Broken"

(1) The workload is at best marginally more than half of what Grad
Certs, Grad Dips and Masters degrees required in the 1970s ...
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) sets the "volume of
learning" for a Masters Degree (Coursework) at between one and two
years, depending on previous study. The shortest is one year after a
relevant honors degree, and 1.5 years following a relevant bachelor degree:

(2) The entry qualifications are very loose: a Bachelor degree in
any discipline ...
Under the AQF, students with degrees in unrelated disciplines are
expected to study an extra six months, for two years in total.
... people who squeeze in because of the lax pre-requisites are
likely to come out of it with pretty vague impressions ...
However they enter, students have to demonstrate the required knowledge
and skills to graduate. Students doing masters programs can be shocked
at the amount of study they have to do. It can be difficult to get the
student to understand that unless they do the required work, they will
not graduate. Even more difficult is to sit down with them, and explain
they have not passed.
I have been looking at how to help masters students get through their
studies, alongside work and family commitments. I will be speaking about
this in the new ANU Marie Reay Teaching Centre, 15 March:
