Computer Science and Cyber Security

About this course

Computer science and cyber security have become inseparable disciplines in a world where virtually every organisation depends on digital systems to operate. Computer science provides the theoretical and practical foundations of computing, from the mathematics underpinning algorithms to the engineering of complex software systems. Cyber security extends this into the critical work of protecting those systems against attack, misuse, and failure. Together they form one of the most sought-after combinations in the technology sector. Studying this programme at Loughborough University, you will develop a thorough grounding in core computer science topics including programming, data structures, software engineering, computer architecture, and networks. Alongside this, you will explore the principles and practice of cyber security, examining how vulnerabilities arise in systems and how defender
