Program Overview

International Year One in Business, Management and Marketing

The International Year One in Business, Management & Marketing will develop your subject knowledge and English language skills, whilst preparing you to join the second year of your chosen undergraduate degree at the University of Huddersfield’s Business School.

Just like the first year of an undergraduate degree, the International Year One is a two-semester programme with a choice of modules. You will have the additional benefit of smaller class sizes and more support to help you develop your academic knowledge, study skills and language abilities to prepare you for your degree.

You will study several modules, which deliver specialised academic content as you would expect during an undergraduate degree, depending on your chosen area of study.

Why study Business, Management & Marketing?

• Gain the practical skills for success with the Huddersfield Business School Placement Unit, which won Best University Placement Service at the NUE awards in 2017
• Benefit from career-focused, professionally accredited degrees with a high graduate employment rate
• Engage with local businesses, employers, and University departments for networking opportunities before even starting your undergraduate degree.

Once you have succesfully completed International Year One in Business, Management and Marketing, and achieving the required grades, you will join the first year of your undergraduate degree at the University of Huddersfield.

Leading to: Computer Science and Cyber Security BSc (Hons)

There are many reasons why cyber security is fast becoming one of the most important aspects of computing. The monetary value of data has led to an increase in cyber-crime, meaning computing professionals with cyber security knowledge and expertise are in high-demand. This course aims to prepare you for an exciting and impactful career in the computing industry.

Many aspects of cyber security rely on the fundamental principles of computer science:

• Designing secure software systems
• Implementing cryptographic techniques for secure data transfer
• Auditing systems for vulnerabilities

In this course you will be taught both the theoretical and the practical aspects of computer science and cyber security. Many of the big challenges in the cyber security field use both computer science and software engineering techniques to find solutions, and to develop the next generation of security products, so it is necessary to have knowledge of both areas.

Your tutors will encourage you to tackle challenging problems, and particularly those at the forefront of research, to ensure you are in the best position to make a real impact in the computing sector. You’ll be supported in developing the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to recognise challenges that occur in cyber security, and to provide solutions. These can range from software solutions implementing the latest in artificial intelligence (AI), to the exploitation of computing applications for engineering or scientific experimentation.

In Year 1 you will follow the core computing programme to give you a broad understanding. Then from Year 2 onwards you will take specialist cyber security modules, cover topics such as cryptography, biometrics and access control, and vulnerability assessments. Providing you with a strong understanding to graduate and follow your chosen career path.
