The Master of Applied Cybernetics (Advanced) is a 1.5 year full-time (or equivalent part-time) degree that provides students with:

• Advanced skills in managing cybernetic systems from critical thinking and questioning, to an understanding of how the technology relates to the regulatory environment. 
• A solid understanding of the machine and human components of a cyber-physical system, including their historical context. 
• The intellectual framework for the management of complex, integrated systems within a social and environmental context. 
• The opportunity to undertake cybernetics-related research and work experience of professional relevance.
• The opportunity to develop advanced research skills through development of an original thesis in applied cybernetics
