There is an urgent need to find solutions and answers to the ongoing threat of digital crimes, coupled with a skills gap in information security and data privacy across the employment sector.
This degree is designed to equip you with the theoretical, conceptual and practical skills needed to defend and mitigate possible threats in computing and networking environments.
You’ll gain a broad perspective on the handling of sensitive and confidential information, including consideration of government regulation and ethics.
Our academic experts will introduce you to the tools, frameworks and concepts used by adversaries (black hat) to compromise computer systems. You’ll use this knowledge to develop mitigation strategies and build strong defensive walls across the computer network and computing infrastructure.
You’ll develop practical hands-on, technical skills and awareness of the core concepts, theories and principles of how to secure data and information against breach and compromise.
Through industry led events and employer projects included in your degree, you’ll learn about current practices in the cyber security industry and be able to put theory into practice, while building your employability skills, such as teamwork and leadership.
The course provides additional opportunities to obtain professional industry-recognised certifications in areas relevant to hacking and cyber security, such as Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Microsoft Certified Ethical Hacker and CompTIA Penetration Tester (PenTest), which can help you stand out in the job market.
You’ll graduate ready to apply your acquired knowledge to design, implement, manage and lead initiatives on cyber intelligence, cyber resilience and threat mitigation, working to secure data for both public and private employers in a range of computing and business-related contexts.
