Within the Computing and Security discipline area, our activities orient around Computer Science, Cyber Security, Information Technology and Security Science. We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and have active research programs specifically oriented around Cyber Security and AI/Machine Learning. The discipline is based at the Joondalup campus of ECU with the new City Campus activating in 2026.

About the Opportunity
Edith Cowan University, in partnership with Apple, is building a dynamic, hands-on team for the newly launched Apple Foundation Program at ECU—the first of its kind in Western Australia.
