Computer Science (Cyber Security) BSc

As more time is spent online, the amount of data we create increases. Often this data contains personal or sensitive information that is vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The networks and systems themselves can also be disrupted causing millions in damages and lost revenue. The cyber security pathway on our BSc (Hons) Computing degree provides you with the skills and knowledge to prevent and defend from these attacks.

There has never been a better time to begin your career as a cyber security professional. Global spending on cyber security alone is expected to exceed £68 billion by 2025. Here in the UK, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reports around 60 ‘high-level’ cyber-attacks a month, many of which threaten national security.
