Overview

Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Programme: 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 Software Engineering 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.
