BSc (Hons) Computing - Cyber Security top-up

Your first module will equip you to critically evaluate and apply appropriate security methodologies and principles, to reduce organisational risk. This will require the application of tools and technique to test and audit application vulnerabilities and security threats. In Semester 1 you will also work as part of a team to design, plan and support the development of IT projects by applying the relevant language and tools. This will involve practical exercises, using problems of graded difficulty that will challenge you to develop your skills and collaborate with others.

In the second semester, you will develop the skills to apply and manage on-premises and cloud based virtualised computing systems. In groups, students will carry out project planning, systems analysis, design, implementation and critical evaluation to assess your critical understanding of enterprise application management as applied to a set problem. The project module provides consultancy/employer led scholarly research, requiring students to undertake real world enquiry through the exploration of a specific research or consultancy topic.
This offers the opportunity to apply their knowledge and develop the skills needed to transition from undergraduate study to the workplace, or further study.

Students benefit from a multifaceted learning experience, and the subject is delivered through lectures, hands-on lab sessions, tutorials, practice-based applied learning, teamwork and group-based learning with opportunity for self-study and provision of regular feedback.
