MSc Cyber Security
Our Cyber Security MSc focuses on information and system security and the analysis of complex systems, including machine learning.
About this course
Cyber Security is a dynamic area of computing science, and is about understanding how:
the features and vulnerabilities of a system can be exploited by attackers
to detect, prevent and respond to these attackers.
Cyber Security is also a process, requiring input from and interaction with end-users, stakeholders, decision-makers or system designers.
The MSc is designed for honours graduates in computing science, or a discipline with a significant computing component, for example:
engineering
systems engineering
mathematics.
You should have a good background in computer systems, including programming. We also value relevant industrial computing experience and transferable skills.
Accreditation
The course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). The BCS is the chartered institute for IT. Studying a BCS-accredited degree provides the foundation for professional membership of the BCS on graduation and is the first step to becoming a chartered IT professional.
