Technology and computer systems are a big part of our daily lives, and keeping the data they store safe is very important. With many businesses seeing online security as a top priority, there is a growing demand for cybersecurity professionals.
In our Cyber Security BSc course, you will learn about different types of cyber-attacks, how to stop them, and how to prevent them in the future. You'll explore how to create highly secure software and systems, conduct thorough penetration testing, and study cryptography (the science of securing information). By thinking like a hacker, you'll develop strong problem-solving skills that are highly valued in the workplace.
Throughout the course, you'll build key computing and cyber security skills, including the basics of computing, secure coding, and computer ethics. In your third year, you'll complete a Final Project, where you'll creatively solve a real-world problem for a business or society.
