Program Description

Students will become highly skilled cybersecurity experts who can find and fix security vulnerabilities on this hands-on Bachelor in Computer Science with Cybersecurity (BSc) at Abertay University.

They will build on the core principles of Computer Science with an added vital specialisation: cybersecurity. Using a security-by-design approach, you'll study how poor design often leads to vulnerabilities, and the role of encryption and usable security in developing robust systems.

They will master the art of designing, implementing, and analysing secure software systems, learning both offensive and defensive techniques.
