About the course

This course seeks to address the global cyber skills gap, providing you with the advanced knowledge and understanding of cyber security issues you need to succeed in this industry.

Technology is transforming our society in all sorts of ways. From how we do business to how we socialize, how we travel to how we communicate, we are dependent on computer systems that drive these processes. This dependency means we're vulnerable to cyber-attacks. If successful, our personal data can be stolen, and our national institutions, critical infrastructure and the technology that drives our society could be compromised.

Entry Requirements

We normally require an honours degree at 2:2 or above in a computing-based degree or a similar technical discipline. It's essential to have a good knowledge of programming, so you should describe in detail your experience of programming languages in your application. C and Python are used extensively throughout the course and so ensuring you have a good understanding of these languages will be advantageous.

If you do not meet the above grade requirements but have at least 12 months relevant professional experience and/ or equivalent qualifications, we will consider you on an individual basis.
