Course content
Designed for
The MSc in Cyber Security and Management is designed for those wishing to develop a career as a cyber security professional. It is suitable for those from a computer science or information technology education background or courses with a significant component of either.
Delivering effective cyber security in a global business environment
In 2010, the UK government announced a 650 million pound investment strategy into Cyber Security & declared that Cyber-Security had become a ‘tier 1’ priority alongside international terrorism and major national incidents. The UK is one of many governments around the world which recognize the serious nature of the threat that is emerging from the cyber-sphere.
Our goal for the MSc programme is to give focus to the strategic deployment and implementation of Cyber Security within an organization. We want to develop strategic thinkers who understand the Cyber threat to an organization and its resources and are able to build and support secure systems that support the strategic growth of a business. The course covers all aspects of Cyber Security including network security, computer security and information security. Alongside this, the course focuses on the business context so that students can progress their careers more rapidly through organisations and aim very particularly at management positions.
If you are an EU or international student, you should value GCHQ certification, just as much as any UK student. The content of the course is internationally applicable.
