Graduate Diploma in Cyber Security
RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Diploma in Cyber Security (CRICOS 096094F) is a real, currently active RMIT award with a 52-week duration on the CRICOS register, but a listed tuition fee of $0, which indicates it has no standalone enrolment pathway and exists purely as an exit point from a longer program. RMIT does not publish a marketing page for it, and the Master of Cyber Security (MC159) page does not describe an exit-award structure in its text. Based on the CRICOS registration, the matching field of education (Security Science, the same as the Master of Cyber Security), and the 52-week duration matching one year of full-time study (96 credit points, half of the Master's 192), this is treated as the exit award reachable after completing the first year of the Master of Cyber Security.

Course structure
- RMIT's Master of Cyber Security page does not break its curriculum into stages. Its 192-credit-point course structure 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. The Graduate Diploma's units would be drawn from approximately the first 96 credit points, one year of full-time study, of that core subject list
- RMIT does not publish which specific subjects fall within that first year

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.
