Course Overview

Data security breaches are on the rise, but you can be part of the solution. With our Cyber Security, Threat Intelligence and Forensics postgraduate degree, you can expand your existing computing knowledge, and develop an applied skill set, ready to build a career in this exciting, in-demand intelligence field.

Available with full and part-time study routes starting each January and September, this Chartered Institute for IT (BCS) accredited course will provide you with both a specialist cyber security knowledge base and real-world skills, so you are ready to fight cyber crime.

During your studies, you will learn about attack (red team) and defence (blue team) strategies. You will consider established attack surfaces (networking, social engineering) and modern issues (IoT, Cloud). You will examine the trade-offs taken between security, privacy and availability.

You will:

  • Develop practical and real-world skills in all major areas of cyber security

  • Engage with industry experts and active cyber security researchers during your studies

  • Build cyber threat intelligence to learn how to fight against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)

  • Gain advanced knowledge of penetration testing, cyber forensics, malware reverse engineering, privacy, and risk management
