Cyber Security (Top-up)

Learning is delivered through intensive, hands‑on sessions that blend short lectures with practical workshops in industry‑standard labs, encouraging students to experiment with cloud platforms such as AWS, Kubernetes and Terraform while engaging in group discussions and guided independent study; assessment strategies are varied and authentic, requiring portfolios of security assessments, technical presentations to peers, collaborative team projects, and a capstone project that culminates in a fully tested solution, all supported by continuous feedback from tutors and alignment with professional standards; students also develop research and communication skills, learn to manage cyber risk using frameworks such as NIST and MITRE ATT&CK, and produce documentation that demonstrates compliance and threat mitigation, enhancing employability for roles in security analysis, penetration testing, engineering and auditing.
