BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Cyber Security (International)
COURSE SUMMARY
Our Cybersecurity degree is designed to fill an emerging global skills gap; our fast-growing course will take your interest in computer science and enhance it with a specialist cyber focus. Our course will build your understanding of the inner workings of programmes, operating systems, and networks so you understand how cyber-attacks happen and how to defend against cyber-attacks. As you complete specially designed projects, you will develop the ability to think conceptually and cultivate independent technical judgement as you prepare for future security-related roles.
IS CYBERSECURITY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Our Computer Science with Cybersecurity Course is suitable for you if:
1. You’re passionate about computing and excited about fighting cybercrime.
2. You’re interested in how things work rather than just wanting to use them.
3. You’ve got a keen attention to detail, enjoy problem-solving and like to use your initiative.
YOU WILL:
1. Learn how to diagnose attacks and use forensics to determine the extent of damage.
2. Develop an understanding of cryptography to address security concerns.
3. Know how to preserve evidence to work within an ethical framework.
4. Build risk management knowledge so you can actively manage threats.
