Course Summary

Cyber-attacks are some of the biggest threats to national security today. With everything from health records to financial data stored online, people and businesses face constant risk from malicious attacks. Could you protect them. If you have a computing degree (or lots of experience in the industry), you’ll have the technical skills to join this gold-standard course fully accredited by the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre). Our expert teaching staff will help you hone those skills until you’re ready to take up the challenge yourself.Unlike some courses which deal with regulations and legislation for cyber security, we focus on developing secure networks and software.

And you’ll build your knowledge until you’re an expert in everything from reverse engineering to OS development.Full time: MSc - 1 year (12 months) PG Dip - 6 months PG Cert - 3 months
