With the increasing sophistication of threats to the cyber landscape coupled with the rapid increase in attempts to disrupt our critical systems and gain commercial and personal data, there is an ever-increasing demand for high skilled cyber security graduates to defend individuals and organisations from a diverse range of cybercrimes. 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. Our courses are designed in collaboration with industry partners so that you will benefit from the opportunity to work alongside industry enabling you to develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in the workplace. Through a range of learning experiences, you 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, you will have the opportunity to work on projects and live briefs set by industry, so your knowledge and skills will be relevant and useful to you in the workplace. This hands-on approach will not only enable you to gain industry contacts but will give you an insight into what will be expected of you when you graduate. This is further enhanced by regular industry talks which will help you understand the wide range of cyber roles available to you and help you to focus on your graduate career choices. This cyber security course is part of the National Cyber Security Academy, which brings the University, Welsh Government and industry experts together to tackle the skills gap and create experts who can fight against cybercrime. USW has been named Cyber University of the Year for three consecutive years at the National Cyber Awards and we are one of only 8 Universities in the UK to be awarded Gold by the National Cyber Security Centre as an Academic Centre of Excellence.
