About this course

Computer science and cyber security sit at the intersection of two disciplines that are increasingly inseparable. Computer science provides the foundational understanding of how computing systems are designed, built, and made to work, while cyber security asks how those systems can be protected against the growing range of threats that accompany their use. In a world where digital infrastructure underpins everything from financial systems to healthcare, democratic processes, and critical national infrastructure, the people who can both build robust systems and defend them against sophisticated attacks are in high demand. At Surrey this three-year full-time programme develops strong computer science skills as its foundation, covering algorithms, data structures, programming, software engineering, operating systems, and networks. Cyber security knowledge is integrated throughout, includin
