BSc (Hons) Cyber Security and Networks with Foundation Year

The cyber security landscape is constantly evolving and organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to defend themselves from these constantly changing and persistent threats. It is critical that both business and government agencies protect their systems and data from potential risks arising from these threats. Because of this, there is a demand for qualified cyber security professionals. Our Cyber Security and Networks degree course is an opportunity for you to develop knowledge and skills necessary to address these challenges and meet the demand. The course aims to give you a fundamental understanding of how to protect organisations, networks, IT systems and individuals against cyber attacks and potential risks. You will be taught by staff who are actively engaged in cyber security research and possess substantial experience of the application of security-related technologies in industry.

Students who complete this programme can look forward to rewarding careers in IT, principally as cyber security analysts, information security officers, IT security auditors, risk analysts, or in other roles with a significant responsibility for computer, network and information security.
Graduates can also look forward to careers in system and network administration, roles which require a detailed understanding of networks and operating systems but also the methods, tools and techniques for securing them.
