Cyber Security is a great career to enter right now, as there is a high demand for professionals with these skills. Employment of information security analysts is projected to grow more than 30 percent from 2020 to 2030, which is much faster than the average for other occupations. Most recruitment managers emphasise graduate skills for entry-level candidates where the more technical skills are typically learned on the job.

Along with the technical skills, you will also develop your transferable and employability skills including:

Adaptability - cyber security trends are constantly evolving, and one of the biggest challenges is dealing with the unknown;
Interpersonal and communication skills - It's important to remember that cyber security does not exist in isolation. Your team working and project management skills will develop through your taught programme and also through extra curriculum engagement.
