Course summary
Cyber security covers concepts, policies, guidelines, tools and technologies used to protect the cyber environment, organisational assets and users.
Our integrated master’s helps you develop as a multi-skilled, highly competent practitioner. The course provides a solid foundation in computer science and cyber security, including coding, mathematics and basic engineering.
You will then undertake advanced training, informed by our world-class research, in topics such as secure systems, cryptography and forensic analysis, gaining a solid theoretical foundation to take full advantage of emerging new technologies.
You'll spend a year in industry, furthering your knowledge, networking and getting real-life experience.
On graduation, you’ll be prepared for a career in cyber security or related fields across industry and government.
Assessment
We use a variety of assessment techniques throughout your course. This allows you to practice different techniques, from report writing, presentations and live demos to timed programming assessments and closed exams. It also means that you are not disadvantaged by being assessed in any one way.
Careers and skills
The move towards a digital economy creates demand for computer scientists and software engineers across a broad section of employers, so the skills you develop here will make you attractive to many organisations. Most of our graduates go into the field of IT/Computing, followed by Financial Services, some undertake further study (e.g. PhD) and others go straight into industry (for example working for IBM, BAE Systems etc).
Many of our graduates are employed by software and electronics industries, but the continuing expansion of the use of computers in commercial and financial operations means that you will be able to find employment in other industries - and here your sharpened numeracy and analytical skills will have prepared you well.
