Cyber Security

This conversion course welcomes applicants from every academic discipline, so previous study in computing is not a requirement. Students build expert skills in cyber security and network security and examine real-world threats. Practical work happens in cyber and networking laboratories fitted with industry-standard hardware, giving students hands-on confidence. Small teaching groups allow academics to tailor support and let students steer parts of the course towards their own interests. An industrial liaison panel informs the content, keeping it current with the technology and working practices that employers use. Those who wish to continue can progress to research, building the academic skills needed for doctoral work. Study is available full-time, full-time with placement, or part-time, and January starts are offered for several routes. The course suits career changers and graduates who want to add technical depth to an existing background in a practical, employer-facing way.
