BSc (Hons) Networks and Cybersecurity

Networks and Cybersecurity blends academic rigour with practical skills and incorporates the Cisco Certified Network Associate curriculum for small and medium-sized networks.

You will develop both practical skills in designing and building networks, as well as expertise in five key areas of network management: fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security. For each of these, you will learn about available protocols and how to analyse different models and standards.

At the same time, the course covers all the fundamentals of computing. Topics include web applications, database systems, programming and software development.

You need an overall score of 6.0, with at least 5.5 or higher in each component: reading, writing, listening and speaking. An alternative approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) will also be accepted if the applicant’s element scores are equivalent to those required for IELTS. After 6 April 2015, you must take your IELTS exams at one of the test centres listed on the UKVI website.

This course has a strong emphasis on real-world learning that boosts employability and equips you to make a bigger contribution in the workplace.
