    Course Summary

    Teesside University’s Cybersecurity MSc degree program is designed to make incoming students into experts in all aspects of computer security – the technologies, processes and solutions which protect commercial and private data, networks or computer systems from being hacked, compromised or improperly accessed.

    Naturally, organisations in all industries and in all sectors are keen to incorporate the latest and most efficient cybersecurity procedures to protect their data, their systems and those of their customers. As a result, skilled cybersecurity graduates are always in very high demand. This program was created to help supply that demand.

    You’ll learn about information governance, security and assurance as well as the risk management processes that the best companies use to guide their technology adoption. You’ll learn how to identify, anticipate and respond to electronic and physical threats to data security. You’ll also learn how to apply security procedures to the IoT as well as to conventional data channels.

    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.
