Computer Science with Cyber Security

About this course

Cyber security has become one of the most pressing concerns in computing, as organisations of every kind depend on digital infrastructure that is subject to constant threat. Studying it alongside the core principles of computer science gives you something more valuable than security techniques alone: you gain the deep understanding of how systems are built that allows you to identify vulnerabilities, design robust defences and think like an adversary as well as a defender. This combination of breadth and specialism is what the industry increasingly demands. At the University of Lincoln, this three-year full-time programme integrates key computer science and security concepts from the start. You will study programming, algorithms, data structures, networks, operating systems and software engineering alongside modules focused on cryptography, ethical hacking, secure software development,
