Computer Science (Cyber Security)

About this course

Cyber security is one of the defining challenges of the digital age. As organisations and individuals rely on networked systems for everything from critical national infrastructure to everyday communication, the ability to protect those systems from malicious actors, vulnerabilities, and failures has become genuinely essential. Computer science with a cyber security specialisation combines the foundational principles of computing with a focused understanding of how systems are secured, how attacks are mounted and detected, and how security is designed into software, networks, and organisations. At the University of Plymouth, this three-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year for those who need to build their technical and mathematical foundations before progressing to degree-level study, a sandwich placement year for substantial industry experience, a year abroad, and work
