Bachelor of Science - Computer Science - Cyber Security

University of Leicester

What you will study

Cybersecurity is an area of computing that specialises in protecting data, networks and systems from digital attacks.

Today’s increasing reliance on technology in an interconnected world calls us to a greater protection of data and information systems. Many businesses, organisations and government agencies view the protection of online services as vital for their economic, educational and social growth. This feeds into a greater emphasis on the role of cybersecurity in society.

This course builds on strong computing foundations to provide expertise on how to prevent, protect and manage cyber-attacks, including AI attacks. You will learn how to build secure software, carry out penetration testing and apply cryptographic techniques to secure information.

Relying on a blend of theory and practical applications, this course will provide you with opportunities to keep up with new developments in cyber threats and defence mechanisms, consider the ethics and impact of decision-making processes related to security, and develop relevant skills for a successful career within the area of cybersecurity.
