Every one of our lives is online now. From basic healthcare to banking. Every online platform you use holds information about you. A small loophole has the ability to leak your information. This is why cybersecurity has become one of the most in-demand careers in the world, even for small businesses.
The B.Sc.(Hons) Cyber Security and Networking Degree teaches you advanced skills like cyber security management to create systems that put safety first, predict threat, and solve problems analytically. Entry to this degree pathway requires one of the qualifications shown under ‘entry requirements.’ There are no IELTS requirements for this degree program for International Students (Learners outside the UK).
As part of the BSc (Hons) Cyber Security and Networking degree, you have the opportunity to earn recognised professional certifications through CompTIA, such as CySA+ (Cybersecurity Analyst) or Cloud+ (Cloud Infrastructure). This gives you practical, industry-ready skills that make it easier to step straight into employment and stand out to employers.
Alongside technical expertise, you’ll also develop critical skills like problem-solving, logical thinking, and project management. You’ll learn to analyse complex systems, respond to real-world cyber threats, and communicate solutions effectively to teams and stakeholders, skills that employers in every industry value.
