Integrated First Year - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Cyber Security

The course starts with first year of the undergraduate degree, but with additional study modules for international students. Students' academic or English level may lead to offering them entry at this level, however they should see this as an additional opportunity to be supported for success. Students will experience the first-year curriculum of a UA92 degree, plus extra academic/English contact hours.

The teaching and learning experience will enable students to fully develop their knowledge and understanding of each module to prepare them for the second year of their degree. All of the standard degree modules will be taught with wider UA92 cohort. On successful completion of Integrated Year One students will seamlessly progress to year two, which is the second year of a bachelor’s degree. There is no need to reapply for year one or for another visa – as long as students meet the required pass mark, they will progress onto the next stage of their studies.

Cyber Security is one of the fastest growing sectors in the digital space. With an increased risk of cyber threats on businesses and systems across the world, there is big demand for Cyber Security professionals. Students will have the flexibility to apply skills and knowledge across a range of industries, such as IT/Communications, Banking, Retail, Utilities, Travel, Healthcare and Manufacturing. Potential future career paths include digital forensics, cyber security management, penetration testing, secure system design and development, data protection and privacy or cryptography and communications security.
