About the BSc (Hons) Cyber Security degree

Information technology has transformed the way in which commerce and industry operate, but it has also provided criminals with a new way of committing crime, either against the computer itself or the information it holds. Major organisations are therefore increasingly reliant on dedicated information security professionals to protect sophisticated computing systems against the threat of cyber-crime. This course provides you with the skills to plan and implement cyber security systems, developing competence in technical areas like ethical hacking, cryptography and software development together with an understanding of ethical and privacy considerations.
