One of a range of degrees from the taught Master's Programme at the Department of Computer Science, MSc Cyber Security considers current research and practice in cyber security.
Students will build the fundamental and advanced aspects of cyber security in terms of theory, practice, policy and security standard. This will enable critical cyber security decision marking, the extant threats to current and emerging systems and networks and the effective countermeasures to such threats in compliance with information security management standards, and the social, legal and ethical issues relating to cyber security in the context of digital forensics, information security management, penetrating testing and cyber operations.
Students will be taught by a highly-regarded and long-established computer science department with strong links to business. Learners will explore the latest penetration testing and digital forensics software at the University's purpose-built Cyber Security Centre. MSc placement awards offer the opportunity for students to undertake a period of industrial placement, and so develop their understanding and skills within a professional environment.
