Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Applied Cyber Security

University of South Wales - Newport City

The BSc (Hons) Applied Cyber Security degree is unique in nature, as it offers a high level of practical learning to complement its academic underpinning. USW's courses are designed in collaboration with industry partners so that students will benefit from the opportunity to work alongside industry enabling them to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workplace. Through a range of learning experiences, students will gain the knowledge of how to keep computer systems free of interference by testing and evaluating them for vulnerabilities and forensically examining the evidential data they provide, to find solutions to real-life problems.

Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to work on projects and live briefs set by industry, so their knowledge and skills will be relevant and useful in the workplace.

This hands-on approach will not only enable students to gain industry contacts but will give them an insight into what will be expected of them when they graduate. This is further enhanced by regular industry talks which will help students understand the wide range of cyber roles available to them and help them to focus on their graduate career choices.
