Master of Science - Computer Science - Cyber Security (Placement Year)

The Computer Science (Cyber Security) conversion course will give students the opportunity to establish a foundation in cyber security from technical and multidisciplinary perspectives. This is a conversion course intended for graduates with little or no prior knowledge of computer science. 

Cybercrime is a growing threat to society, democracy and organisations with increasing high profile cyber security cases in the news. This conversion course has been designed to meet the demands of organisations seeking to protect valuable data. This course will provide students with the key skills and knowledge in computer science and systems security to enhance their career prospects in identifying and solving complex security problems.

The University of Kent is recognised by the British Government as being an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research, meaning students will be taught by staff who are top researchers in this area.
