Hello Dr Guenther Pernul,
Currently I am at University Of Tasmania in Australia doing a Bachelor
Degree In Applied Computing.
The University here does not have a specialised degree in IT Security, but
they do offer a 1 Semester of 14 weeks lecture on the subject unit called
"Computer Security".
This 14 weeks of lecture covers on topics such as :
1. Threats, Vulnerabilities, Countermeasures
2. 3 basic principles : Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability
3. Unix security
4. PC security
5. Database security
6. Encryption & Crytography
7. File Access Control
8. Physical, Procedural, Hardware/Software security
9. Network security
10. Disaster Recovery Plan
11. Security Ethics
There's also an advanced subject unit called "Advanced Computer Security"
for honours year students.
