ITECH2505 Secure network architecture and design
This unit will provide students with an understanding of the network technologies, protocols, and security considerations for distributed computing environments and equip them with the skills necessary for computer network design. The unit covers computer network security and networking, encompassing Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Mobile Networks together with the underlying network protocols that form the backbone of today's Internet. It also covers the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of different types of applications and how network protocols handle QoS issues.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
