All students undertake a large, personally supervised project in the final months of the course. The programme also gives you practical experience with technologies and toolkits for building internet-based software. It covers the theory and practice of designing and building secure systems and gives you a firm grounding in cryptography, network security and secure programming, as well as optional modules in topics such as hardware and embedded system security, operating systems and incident management and forensics. It will allow you to obtain the knowledge and expertise to evaluate, design and build secure computer systems, processes and people that are involved in cyber security. This is a one-year full-time degree programme for graduates in a computing-related discipline.
