Introduction
The BSc Cyber Security Technical Professional degree is a degree apprenticeship accredited by Tech Partnerships, and you must be a digital degree apprentice for an appropriate employer to enrol on this route.
The BSc Cyber Security degree is an equivalent degree open to non-apprentices. Both programmes will provide you with expertise in all aspects of cyber security in terms of software, networks, systems, people and organisations.
You will understand the motivations and techniques of attackers and how to successfully defend against them. You will also gain additional competencies in secure programming, secure software development, databases, “Big Data” technologies and data analytics.
The BSc (Hons) Cyber Security Technical Professional course will allow you to work as an apprentice alongside completing your degree.
