Alumni

"After my gap year, I did some research on the Bachelor of Computer Science in various universities and settled on Western Sydney University.

University has been challenging but a worthwhile experience. I would say the highlight of my experience at Western Sydney University is definitely a final year capstone project with Western Sydney International Airport.

In terms of the specific career such as Cyber Security, I became interested while studying Ethical Hacking as one of my electives - this only grew when Australia had its largest data breaches."

— Fernando Hernandez, Bachelor of Computer Science
