Course Description

The fight against cyber attacks is getting tougher. Now their frequency and ferocity is a threat to organisations of all sizes. Join us to explore a broad range of topics and develop skills in security, networks and their management.

Business and government agencies need to protect their systems and data from potential risks. Because of this, there is a demand for qualified cyber security professionals.

We'll help you understand how to address challenges facing businesses and become the expert they desperately need. Develop your technical knowledge of cyber threat intelligence, risk management and relevant industry standards.

You'll be taught by a teaching team with extensive experience applying security-related technologies to industry and possess substantial experience of the application of security-related technologies in industry. They'll cover everything from cloud computing to project management, as well as sharing their own research.

Our Docklands campus has fantastic computing resources, including specialised labs to explore networking and operating system environments. With our mental wealth modules, we'll cover areas like IT project pitching too.

We'll assess you through a combination of coursework and exams. Coursework will include presentations, software demonstrations, research-based assignments and practical exercises involving system or program specification, coding and testing. You'll always receive detailed feedback outlining your strengths and how you can improve. Feedback is provided within 15 working days in line with UEL's assessment and feedback policy.
