Program Description
The rate and prevalence of threats to Information Technology systems means that government agencies, police authorities and defence organisations need people who can efficiently create systems to combat them. In this course, students will explore the evolving threat landscape and gain applied skills in building and managing secure systems. In addition to core computing skills, students will learn the fundamental concepts of psychology, business, law, and management that relate to cyber security in technology.
With the threat landscape constantly developing, this course will teach students to be strategic thinkers and be a step ahead of the hackers – understanding the threats and implementing the solutions to combat them.
This is one of eight undergraduate computing courses we offer at BU. As BU understands that it can be difficult to know what area students would like to specialize in, all of these courses share a common first year, giving them the time to really explore the subject before deciding on a specialism.
