As an online student, you will be able to draw on the extensive industrial links of our academic staff and share knowledge of best practice with fellow students while navigating your course materials in our virtual learning environment.

Meeting the demand for expertise

The speed with which the internet and information sharing has developed has exceeded the pace of secure infrastructure development. Our online Cyber Security MSc is designed to help bridge this gap and meet the accelerating demand for professionals with proven information security expertise.

Challenges that cyber security professionals face include:

  • Kill chains - the phases of a cyber attack from reconnaissance to achieving the goal, such as removing or ransoming data 
  • Zero-day attacks - the discovery and exploitation of a vulnerability in software
  • Ransomware - a type of malicious software (malware) that threatens to lock or publish data unless a ransom is paid
  • Alert fatigue - becoming desensitised due to a large number of frequent minor alarms
  • Budgetary constraints

Cyber security experts need a stronger understanding of these topics, and many others, to be able to confront those challenges more effectively.

You can also study the MSc Cyber Security full-time or part-time on campus.
