Computing (Networking, Security & Forensics)

Computer networks are no longer limited to rows of PCs wired to servers in a corporate office. Any connected devices can now form a network. It's your smart phone, door lock, tablet, fridge, camera, even your lightbulbs and thermostat. Modern networks are wireless and spread everywhere. Our data has never been more valuable or more vulnerable.

For families, businesses and governments, the systems and information in their networks are valuable assets. This degree gives you the skills and knowledge to run professional networks and keep them safe from cyber criminals.

You'll work on real-life projects in our £13million Tech Hub laboratories and workspaces. Go beyond technical network administration to learn tools and techniques in IT and project management. You'll study computer theory, network security and forensics then cement your knowledge by putting it into practice on our computer security degree.

Year 1 is designed to help you grasp the principles, technologies and science that combine to create computer networks. You'll learn how to analyse computer systems and suggest improvements. We'll introduce you to the inner workings of the web and its technologies. You'll study programming and web development. All the aspects you need to confidently choose your path in Year 2.
