CYBER SECURITY
This programme provides a broad introduction to the specialist area of cyber
security. Recognised by employers and HE providers, it equips students
with essential technical knowledge and skills needed to understand how
organisations design, manage and protect systems, networks and data within
an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.
With teaching rooted in practical, real-world application, students explore cyber
security principles, threats, vulnerabilities and protective measures through
realistic scenarios and simulated environments. You will study units such as
Professional Practice, Security, Cyber Security, and Fundamentals of Artificial
Intelligence (AI).
