• This innovative program is at the forefront of technical advances in cutting-edge cybersecurity topics such as cryptography, computer forensics, malware, networking, software development, as well as investigating the increasingly important legal and ethical issues in cybersecurity.
  • This is an applied course, which mixes theoretical skills with practical work in the lab to give students hands-on experience
  • The MSc Applied Cyber Security with Professional Internship is a two-year program. The first year comprises taught modules and a research project. The second year comprises an internship of up to 12 months in the industry in a cyber security-related role. To progress to an internship in the second year students must secure an internship before the end of the first year. Students must also pass all modules before beginning an internship.
  • Applicants should be aware that students must be proactive in applying to appropriate companies to have the best chance of securing an internship. Internships are not offered by the university. This is a competitive recruitment exercise outside the control of the university, and some students may not be successful. Students who are unable to secure an internship will transfer to the 1-year MSc Applied Cyber Security and graduate after one year.
