BSc (Hons) Computer Science for Cyber Security

The BSc (Hons) Computer Science for Cyber Security course at the University of Bradford has been designed to equip students with a wide range of computing skills while specialising in the increasingly important world of cyber security. The course brings together a thorough grounding in computer science with the knowledge and skills to apply these to cyber security issues in a variety of contexts.Course Content: The course is divided into three years of study. The first year covers the foundations of computer science and introduces cyber security. In the second year, students will develop deeper knowledge in cyber security, and also study software engineering, network programming and data structures. The final year allows students to specialise further, with modules on advanced cyber security and penetration testing, while undertaking a substantial computer science project.Key Modules: Some of the key modules included in this course are Network Programming, Computer Security, Software Engineering, Data Structures and Algorithms, Advanced Cyber Security, Penetration Testing, and Computer Science Project.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS) – The Chartered Institute for IT, on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional.Future Careers: Graduates from this course might head into careers such as IT Security Engineer, Cyber Security Analyst, Network Security Analyst, or Cyber Security Consultant. They could choose to work in a range of sectors including finance, defence, telecommunications or healthcare, among others.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
