What you will study

Cyber Security Bootcamp offers a holistic perspective of cyber security. You’ll learn about threat detection and prevention strategies, risk management, investigative tools, and the way in which each are leveraged by organisations to secure operations and minimise disruption. Critical Vulnerability Analysis exposes specific strategies for evaluating and reporting, for example, structural vulnerabilities and inadequate cybersecurity safeguards.

Career pathways

For graduates of Computing disciplines, MSc Cyber Security supports entry into a range of IT roles where cyber security is an integral component but not necessarily an entire responsibility. You’ll be able to demonstrate your value to a range of companies quickly, and later build on the management skills gained during your study to compete for more senior positions.
