    Course Summary

    An MSci in Computer Science with Cyber Security content is a great choice for students with a knack for technology and a desire to engage with a lucrative and challenging career path. It is also a good choice for working professionals who want to enhance or redefine their career prospects.

    You’ll study software design, coding and analysis as well as several highly specialised cyber security techniques modules like cryptanalysis, system auditing and tracing the source of attacks. These will prepare you to defend tomorrow’s industrial, commercial, financial and personal computer systems from those who would compromise them.

    This program incorporates an optional year in paid work placement. This is a wonderful opportunity to see how Computer Science and/or Cyber Security professionals work on a day to day basis, and learn real world skills from practitioners in your chosen field of expertise. It also makes your CV much more impressive to employers.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Career Possibilities

    Computer Science graduates with Master’s level certification are in very high demand in almost every industry. Not just in the UK but throughout Europe and beyond, more skilled graduates are wanted than can be supplied. That means that few CS graduates struggle to find work in their fields. Those with high level Cyber Security qualifications are even more in demand in some industries. Of course, you also have the option of entering a PhD or other research-based degree program as well.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 4 year MEng degree.
