ABOUT THE COURSE This innovative programme is at the forefront of technical advances in cutting-edge cyber security topics such as cryptography, computer forensics, malware, networking, software development, as well as investigating the increasingly important legal and ethical issues in cyber security. This is an applied course, which mixes theoretical skills with practical work in the lab to give you hands-on experience.
