Build your career digital defence - one of the most rapidly growing and essential industries in the digital world.
Cyber crime is on the rise, more than three out of five firms reported a cyber attack in the last 12 months and it can lead to lost revenue, a damaged reputation and even fines. As the threats increase year-on-year, it’s becoming more important than ever to have teams of experts trained to prevent attacks and identify vulnerabilities within business systems to protect revenue, reputation and customer data.
In our MSc Computer Science (Cyber Security), you will develop your existing knowledge of computer science into a master-level expertise in the field of cyber security, readying you to command a team of frontline ethical hackers against outside infiltration. What’s more, you will get the opportunity to develop extra qualifications alongside your MSc, such as the Certified Ethical Hacker, XRY Mobile Forensics, Cybercrime Analysis and Cisco Certifications.
With the guidance of our professionally experienced expert academics, you will gain a cyber security and digital forensic skillset embedded with theory, concept and practice. You’ll also be given the latest updates and policies around ethical and lawful cyber security, putting you at the forefront of a fast-moving industry when you graduate.
Our modules evolve with recent advances and developments in technology, fuelled by employer needs and our own professionally active advisory boards, and include the latest technologies and methods of software weaponisation.
On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MSc Cyber Security
