IELTS
6.0 level requirementThis is the English requirement the university publishes for study at this level, not one printed for this course. Most departments ask for exactly this and some ask for more, so it tells you what to aim at rather than what you will be asked for. Send us the course and we will confirm the requirement it actually sets, including any minimum in each paper.

Overview

Cyber Security is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a two year higher national diploma, which carries into the final year of a degree.

Teaching in Software Engineering is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

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.
