You might choose to specialise on designing, configuring managing or supporting computer networks in a variety of different contexts, or you could stay a generalist and learn to protect all kinds of data in the rapidly shifting contexts of the real world.

    In addition to your BSc degree, you’ll be able to study for your first professional certification as you learn. This can be a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) award, as well as a great deal of training in RedHat Linus applications.
