Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Cyber Security

The BSc (Hons) Cyber Security with Foundation Year is designed to develop the academic, technical, and practical skills required to address the growing challenges of cyber security in modern organisations. Delivered over four years, the programme includes a Foundation Year that provides a broad introduction to key concepts, supporting progression onto the full degree upon successful completion of all modules.

The course equips students with advanced technical knowledge, analytical understanding, and management capabilities needed to protect data and digital systems in an increasingly complex and data-driven world. It explores the importance of securing information across networks, particularly as technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) continue to expand and generate large volumes of data.

With a strong emphasis on industry relevance, the programme is informed by current developments and supported by links with organisations such as Cisco, Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, UK Fast, the Linux Professional Institute, and BT. Students benefit from a research-active environment within the field of networks and cyber security, gaining hands-on experience and up-to-date knowledge aligned with employer expectations.
