Master of Science - Cyber Security Technology - Conversion

The Master of Science in Cyber Security Technology (Conversion) at the University of Roehampton is a postgraduate program designed for students from non-technical or unrelated academic backgrounds who wish to develop expertise in cyber security. The course provides a strong foundation in computing and information security, enabling students to transition into the rapidly growing field of cyber security.

Students are introduced to core concepts such as network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics, cryptography, and risk management. The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience, allowing students to develop technical skills in identifying, preventing, and responding to cyber threats.

Throughout the course, students explore the legal, ethical, and professional issues surrounding cyber security, as well as the impact of cybercrime on individuals, organizations, and governments. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving, critical thinking, and the application of security techniques in real-world scenarios.

The program culminates in a dissertation or applied project, where students can specialize in an area of interest within cyber security. Graduates are well-prepared for roles such as cyber security analyst, information security specialist, network security engineer, and digital forensics investigator, or for further academic study in related fields.
