Computer Science (Cyber Security)

About this course

Cyber security has become one of the defining challenges of the digital age. As more of the infrastructure of modern life, from banking and healthcare to energy networks and government services, depends on connected computer systems, the ability to identify vulnerabilities, protect data and respond to threats has become a critical professional competency. At the University of Kent, this three-year full-time degree specialises within computer science, applying the foundational knowledge of the discipline to the specific challenges of securing systems and protecting information in an environment where attackers are persistent, technically sophisticated and increasingly well-resourced. You will study the core content of computer science, including programming, algorithms, operating systems, networks and software engineering, before progressing to specialist cyber security content covering
