Computer Science (Cyber Security)

About this course

Computer science with a specialism in cyber security addresses one of the defining challenges of the digital age: protecting systems, networks and data from unauthorised access, disruption and attack. Cyber security draws on the full range of computer science, from systems architecture, networking and cryptography to software engineering and operating systems, and applies that knowledge to the practical and theoretical challenges of building and defending secure digital infrastructure. As organisations of all kinds depend increasingly on digital systems, the demand for professionals who understand both how those systems work and how they can be compromised has grown substantially. At the University of Keele you will study for three years full-time, building a thorough grounding in computer science alongside specialist knowledge in cyber security. You will develop skills in programming,
