My interest in I.T sparked when my mum first handed me her laptop back in 2007 (Was 8 at the time) whereby I found myself a game called “Runescape” through a google search. I enjoy high fantasy, MMORPG’s and I’ve been an avid gamer since the ripe age of 8. This passion for games continued throughout my teenage years and eventually led to an interest in Game Development.
Around the same time I also had an interest in the Army & the Australian Secret Service. Combining both of these interests and their relevant fields I came to one conclusion: Cybersecurity (With the very limited knowledge that I had). Shortly after, La Trobe University released a video in 2017 named “Inside the Mind of a Hacker: Intro to the Dark Web” which introduced the levels that came with both I.T and Cybersecurity. I was immediately inspired to be a part of this field.
As I had my heart set on Information Technology (Cybersecurity), I decided to research a little bit more on which universities were well known for the I.T course. Of course, RMIT came up in both my searches and on forums run by previous students. In the end, RMIT constantly portrayed exactly what I was looking for - Perfect location, a great university culture & people, a great curriculum for learning. Furthermore, I expect RMIT to give me the best possible education I can receive on Information Tech, from the basics to the more advanced sections. I expect to learn how to code, program and ethically hack.
