BSc (Hons) Cyber Security with Placement Year

As computing technology becomes more integral to our homes, workplaces and public services, cybercrime is increasingly widespread and dangerous. With our BSc (Hons) Cyber Security, youll be part of the solution as you learn to investigate breaches and harness secure systems.

Youll specialise in identifying different cyber security attacks and mitigation techniques, detecting and responding to network-based intrusions, ethical hacking and testing approaches, and applied cryptography. And because other peoples private data is involved, youll also explore the legal and ethical implications and how they relate to cyber security.

Throughout our cyber security degree, youll also gain a broad understanding of core computing subjects, such as programming, mathematics for computing, databases, networks and operating systems. Extensive group work will develop your ability to think logically and use your initiative to critically analyse problems. By the time you graduate, youll have a set of skills that are in high demand in our technology-led world, across both the public and private sectors.

This course is available with a foundation year.
