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).

Key Features of the Program
- Students will learn from experts from DMU’s Cyber Technology Institute (CTI), which has been named an ‘Airbus Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security’. Boasting an international reputation in computer security and digital forensics, its research influences the approach taken by the UK government and leading organisations. Computer Science research at DMU is among the most frequently cited in the world, so they can be sure they’re learning from the best.
- Students will benefit from the Cyber Security laboratories which are among the best equipped facilities of this type in the UK. Developed in consultation with leaders in the industry, they are designed to meet the highest forensics and security standards and are fitted with customised PCs configured with multiple operating systems, virtualisation and removable hard drives.
- Student will study on a course which is assessed 100% by coursework, where they will take part in group and individual assessments, written essays, presentations, projects and reports, all with a strong emphasis on real-world problems.
- They will boost their career prospects through an optional one-year placement where they can build industry contacts and gain experience in their area of interest. Previous Cyber Security students have undertaken placements with McAfee, as well as local and national consultancy and accounting firms.
- They will get hands-on experience and meet like-minded peers by joining DMU’s Hacking Society. It has more than 150 members who meet weekly to share skills such as web application hacking, binary exploitation and reverse engineering and enter competitions.
- The new £6.5m Digital Tech Learning Hub, due for completion in 2024, will combine state-of-the-art facilities with a fresh approach to teaching and investment in industry-standard technology, placing DMU at the forefront of digital education.
- They will benefit from block teaching, where most students study one subject at a time. A simple timetable will allow them to really engage with their learning, receive regular feedback and assessments, get to know their course mates and enjoy a better study-life balance.
