Overview

Computer Science for Cybersecurity is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Computer Science starts from programming fundamentals even on postgraduate courses marked as conversion, which matters if your first degree was in another field.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

The strongest technical degree for the widest range of employers, and the one whose interviews are hardest. Hiring turns on data structures, algorithms and a portfolio, so a placement year and personal projects matter as much as the classification.

  • Software engineer
  • Backend or full stack developer
  • Data engineer
  • Security engineer
  • Systems or platform engineer

Where they work

  • Technology companies and software houses
  • Banks and trading firms
  • Consultancies and systems integrators
  • Government and health service digital teams
