Cyberspace is now integral to our future security and prosperity: cloud computing, web-based technologies and other technological advances are changing the way we live, work and communicate, transforming critical systems such as finance, energy, food distribution, healthcare and transport.
As more and more businesses, institutions and organisations rely on networks and digital technologies, there is a growing demand for cyber security professionals who can drive innovation and progress, while managing the complex risks that have previously brought hospitals, oil pipelines, schools and businesses to a standstill.
The MSc in Cyber Security prepares you to fully participate in the development of secure internet and web-based systems, and to apply an expert approach to the management and control of such activities, identifying risks, safety and security aspects that may be involved in the deployment of computing systems.
Even if your first degree is in a subject other than Computing, you’ll learn how to master techniques to implement secure IT solutions, which are among the most sought-after skills in industry and business.

Career prospects
It has been estimated that there are up to 3.5 million unfulfilled cybersecurity jobs across the world – a number that has increased by a phenomenal 350% between 2013 and 2021 – so the demand for cyber professionals is not set to slow any time soon.
The threat of ransomware attacks, data breacher or major IT outage concerns companies more than business and supply chain disruption, natural disasters or the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer 2022, an annual survey identifying the top corporate risks for the upcoming year and beyond.
Informed by feedback from our industrial partners, the technical skills and knowledge developed on this course – in cloud security, application development security, data security, risk management and threat intelligence – have been purposefully designed in response to the priority being given to computer systems security.
As a professional in cyber security, there is a wide range of career opportunities available to you. You may work as an analyst in the private, public or charity sector, protecting your organisation’s IT infrastructure, detecting threats and managing intrusion attempts, as well as alarms and reports. This may also involve team and project management. Alternatively, you could go on to act in a freelance capacity, offering consultancy or advisory services to clients or working in-house for larger businesses.
