Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security
RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security (CRICOS 096093G) is a real, currently active RMIT award that is distinct from RMIT's separately offered Online Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security (program code GC036O, a domestic-only online course with no CRICOS registration). RMIT does not publish a standalone marketing page for the 096093G version, and its own Master of Cyber Security (MC159) page does not describe an exit-award ladder in its text. Based on the CRICOS registration (Higher Education sector, City Campus, Security Science field of education, which matches the Master of Cyber Security's own field), the 26-week, one-semester duration (equivalent to 48 credit points, the standard RMIT Graduate Certificate load), and the absence of any other matching program, this is treated as the entry-level exit award reachable after completing the first part of the Master of Cyber Security.

Course structure
- RMIT's Master of Cyber Security page does not break its curriculum into stages, so no specific first-semester subject list can be cited. The Master's own 192-credit-point course consists of 10 core subjects covering software security, network security, cryptography, digital forensics, ethical hacking, penetration testing, cyber security risk management and human factor security, followed by specialist electives and a capstone. The Graduate Certificate's units would be drawn from the first 48 credit points, roughly one semester, of that core subject list
- RMIT does not publish which specific subjects make up that first stage

The code used for the points-tested 189, 190, and 491 pathways. Newer cyber security specialisations (Cyber Security Engineer, Cyber Security Analyst, and others) were split out of this code in 2021 to 2025 ANZSCO updates and sit on CSOL instead; picking the right code matters for which visa applies.
