BSc (Hons) Cyber Security (Top Up)

Overview

The BSc (Hons) in Cyber Security is a one year top-up degree programme aimed at students to build on their previous studies such as a Higher Diploma qualification in the field of Networking or Cyber Security. The Cyber Security degree focuses on protecting against cybercrime before it happens. Students will develop specialisms through modules adapted to match their career goals. Students will have opportunities to examine cybercrime topics. These include the latest security crimes in the news, as well as big data and cloud systems which have both significantly increased commercial security risks.

Students will learn to identify security breaches and implement solutions using the latest industry tools and techniques. Through hands-on experience of analysing secure networks and websites, students will develop skills around penetration testing, malware identification and ethical hacking. The programme covers from network design (the physical securing of network components) and operating systems security with a focus on Windows, MAC OS and Linux, to information security (keeping cyber information secure in a business environment).
