Course content

Here, you develop a critical understanding of information governance and assurance, along with current technology risk management practices.


Learn how to explore the threat landscape and develop countermeasures for cyber security attacks. And study security for the Internet of Things, and the security concepts and technologies used in mobile devices.

Identify the issues surrounding the weakest link in security systems – people. And develop your technical and critical thinking skills in applying your cyber security knowledge to real-world problems.

You explore professional, ethical, security and social implications. And you develop the transferable skills you need to progress into industry.

  • Industry links: work on live industry briefs, competitions and hackathons. Previous companies have included Cisco, Cubic Transportation Systems, Sage, TUI, Atombank, HMRC and Waterstons.
  • Career-ready: our ExpoSeries allows you to showcase your skills to industry professionals who are looking to recruit new and rising talent.

This extended, full-time (including Advanced Practice) programme enhances the qualification by adding a vocational or research-based internship to the one-year programme. This is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides the opportunity to develop analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting. We guarantee a research internship, but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We provide practical support and advice on how to find and secure vocational internship positions.
