Cyber security seeks to enable the good and prevent the bad in cyber space. For you to contribute to this task, you will learn a broad range of theory and practice. Most things will be viewed from two perspectives: what should happen, and what does happen. Many cyber security challenges lurk in this gap between concept and reality.
You will learn:
This course has a strong technical focus so that you understand precisely how the digital parts of cyber systems function. However, the role played by people, processes and the physical environment in achieving cyber security is also a critical part of your study. Taken together, you will learn how to harden the security posture of an organisation's cyber systems. You will learn how to think and act coherently in cyber space.
Cyber security professionals are in high demand by businesses worldwide, meaning you will have access to a wealth of potential career routes in a highly mobile profession when you graduate.
Our BSc Cyber Security is fully certified by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)Link opens in a new window at GCHQ and accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.
This degree explores cyber security in a broad and realistic way. As part of understanding how cyber systems are attacked, protected, and investigated, we look at real-world examples involving cyber crime and digital forensics. This can include references to topics such as online fraud, illegal trade, violence, and the distribution of unlawful or harmful material. These areas are studied strictly from a law-enforcement and investigative perspective to understand threats, evidence, and prevention. While some content may be sensitive, it reflects the realities of cyber security practice and supports professional preparation in this complex, real-world field.
You will learn:
- How to construct robust software
- How to store data over time and communicate it over distance
- How computer systems are organised
- The capabilities of cryptographic techniques
- The processes and procedures that provide assurance that things are as they should be
- The mindset, tools, and techniques to discover the shortcomings of cyber systems, duly constrained by ethics and the law
