The Master in Cyber Security (MSc) at De Montfort University was developed in collaboration with The Cyber Technology Institute’s (CTI) Industrial Advisory Group, compromising Airbus, BT, Deloitte UK and Rolls-Royce. It has been designed to prepare graduates for real challenges faced by cyber-security specialists and meet the industry’s changing needs.
Technology and computer systems are becoming ever more integrated with our day-to-day lives and protection of the data and information they contain is paramount. With many organisations and businesses now considering the defence of online information a critical business issue, there’s an increased focus and demand on the role of cyber security.
Learners will study a diverse range of modules, including Cyber Threat Intelligence, Malware Analysis, Penetration Testing and Incident Response, providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to work in the sector. In their final block of teaching, students will have the opportunity to carry out a Postgraduate Project with the support of their academic supervisor. This self-managed, in-depth study will enable them to showcase their skills and knowledge and tailor them to their own area of interest.
Gold-standard teaching: DMU has been named a gold standard ‘Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education’ by the leading authority on cyber security in the UK, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
