Course summary

The Cybersecurity MSc is designed to provide a firm grasp of cybersecurity in all major aspects of its existence and practice. This includes a comprehensive understanding of concepts, tools and techniques that are useful for solving problems, and an understanding of rules, regulations, ethical and professional policies that may apply to the field of cybersecurity.

The course is provisionally certified by the NCSC and the learning content is tailored to the NCSC cybersecurity body of knowledge.

As a conversion programme, it is offered to students without IT-related backgrounds. The learning process takes a bottom-up approach to expose conversion students to the fundamental concepts and technical details and gradually introduces them to the more complex aspects. You will gain practical experience to develop your confidence, mindset and important skills that are required in joining the skilled workforce to meet the needs of industry and government.

There is an option to choose a Project/Placement year for this course, at an additional cost.
