Computer Science (Cyber Security) with a Year in Industry

About this course

Computer science with cyber security is a degree that develops deep technical understanding of how computing systems work alongside specialist knowledge of how to protect them. Connected digital systems now underpin banking, healthcare, energy distribution, transport, and communication, and the security of those systems is a matter of national and economic significance. Cyber security professionals identify vulnerabilities, design defences, monitor for intrusions, and respond when breaches occur, and they need both a strong computing foundation and the adversarial thinking that security work demands. At the University of Kent, this four-year full-time degree includes a year in industry, providing extended professional experience in a security or computing role before you graduate. You will build rigorous foundations in computer science, including programming, algorithms, data structures
