Introduction

Become a highly skilled cybersecurity expert who can find and fix security vulnerabilities with this hands-on degree. Right from the very start, you’ll be analyzing, designing, and implementing secure software systems.

Using your grasp of programming and computer architecture, you’ll create secure systems with fewer vulnerabilities, covering both offensive and defensive techniques. You’ll get lots of practical experience working across desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms.

Develop measures to stop cyberattacks

The UK’s national cybersecurity strategy identifies software vulnerabilities as a key threat and makes building security into software from the start a national priority. But most software developers aren’t cybersecurity experts – and that’s what the industry needs right now.

Your specialist developer expertise will make you hugely employable. You’ll be prepared for the rapidly evolving cybersecurity work environment using your expertise in ethical hacking, computing, secure software engineering, and human-centered security.

Cybersecurity experts are highly sought-after

The worldwide shortage of cybersecurity specialists means that our graduates usually find jobs easily, with many headhunted before they even graduate.

This course ranked UK's top 5 for Course Satisfaction (Computer Science and Information Systems) in the 2022 Guardian University Guide.
