Program details

Overview

Eight-month graduate certificate designed and developed with leading financial services organizations to address Canada's shortage of cybersecurity professionals. Students build specialized skills to secure, protect and defend mobile and network infrastructures, preventing fraud, data breaches and other vulnerabilities, and finish with an industry capstone project. Courses combine attendance at Newnham Campus with online delivery, with January, May and September starts.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows Seneca's graduate-certificate entry route: applicants need an Ontario university degree, college diploma, or equivalent, in information technology (computer engineering, software, hardware, networking or a related field). Applicants without that credential may instead be considered on an equivalent combination of professional networking experience and a relevant resume and references; applicants lacking networking credentials can fulfil the gap by completing DCF255 - Data Communications Fundamentals through Seneca Continuing Education. Canadian citizens and permanent residents educated outside Canada must submit a WES or ICAS credential evaluation. As a graduate certificate, this program falls under Seneca's institution-wide policy of asking domestic applicants for a formal English test only when they cannot show enough prior study in English (for example three years of full-time secondary school, or two full-time years of college or university study, in a country where English is an official or the common language); international applicants must meet Seneca's published English-proficiency levels for graduate certificates. Neither the program's own pages nor Seneca's general English-proficiency page states a specific test score for this program.
