Study Details: MSc 12-18 Months Full-Time, 2-3 Years Part-Time
Our economy depends on the internet and remote data storage now more than ever before. The more we reach out to connect, the more cybercriminals find ways to break in. It’s a growing problem costing the UK £27 billion a year.
Finding qualified security experts is a problem industry and the government takes seriously. Our MSc Cyber Security meets the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) certification criteria for Masters degrees, ensuring you’ll graduate with all the relevant skills and expertise to work as a cyber security professional.
You’ll develop an in-depth understanding of current information security and cyber security issues. We’ll train you in the techniques you need for strategic IT management. You’ll learn to assess networks and systems as a resource and to analyse and control security risks. When you graduate, you’ll be highly sought after by small and medium sized enterprises, who have huge demand for people with the skills and knowledge to protect their business from imminent threat.
To join this MSc you should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above), comprising 50% or more of content in a computing discipline.
Equivalent knowledge gained in alternative ways, for example through professional experience or completion of BCS Professional Diploma in IT (Level 6), is also accepted.
