    About

    Introduction:

    You'll develop the practical skills and knowledge in programming, maths and engineering that will get you off to a flying start when you move onto BSc (Hons) Cyber Security in your second year.

    Protecting organisations from cyber-attacks is a valuable skill and graduates are highly sought after and it’s one we’ll prepare you for.

    You’ll explore how to detect and identify security risks before building on this by developing your own preventative measures – all with plenty of opportunities to test your solutions in our industry-standard facilities.

    Building on a solid foundation covering network and system technologies, this course covers the core knowledge and skills needed to protect businesses against security threats. You will develop a detailed understanding of computer security issues, the detection of computer-based crime and the preservation and interpretation of digital evidence of the crime.
