Undergraduate

Cyber Security

UK University

Overview

Cyber Security 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 is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

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
  • Technical consultant

Where they work

  • Technology companies and software houses
  • Banks and trading firms
  • Consultancies and systems integrators
  • Government and health service digital teams
  • Startups and scale-ups
After the course

No register. Cloud certification, or a master's in a specialism, are the two directions most graduates take.
