Enhanced Extended Master of Science - Cyber Security

The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The MSc Cyber Security at the University of West London prepares students for the growing demand for cyber security professionals in the UK and worldwide, equipping them to keep IT environments safe and secure in a world where data is constantly under attack.

The course gives students a broad understanding of the latest practices and techniques for the development and operation of cyber security systems. Students will be able to analyse the legal, social, ethical and professional issues involved in the human aspects of cyber security and be guided by the adoption of appropriate professional, ethical and legal practices.

The course is particularly designed to tackle industry needs and produce informed graduates who are suitably equipped to flourish. Upon graduation, students will have the critical skills and techniques to appropriately solve typical cyber security problems for an array of cyber security-related jobs and roles.

Students will also develop the necessary research competencies and build a solid foundation for applied research in cyber security, creating pathways to further study such as a PhD.
