The BSc (Hons) Cyber Security at Liverpool John Moores University is informed by internationally important research, which means your studies will be at the forefront of developments in this important field. The course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). Students who graduate meet the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional in the BCS which raises your professional profile. The Cyber Security course will teach you the skills required to be able to identify Computer Security issues, how to solve these issues and how to recover if a Security breach occurs. Students will learn some Computer Forensics skills to help them identify where attacks are being launched from and ways to secure their systems against them. There is a close relationship between Computer Forensics and Cyber Security, and it is necessary that professionals in both areas are aware of each other’s roles in securing computing systems. - State-of-the-art computing facilities with specialist computer security software- Practical, hands-on experience incorporated into modules wherever possible- High quality teaching from staff involved in internationally recognised research- Graduates increasingly in demand as IT security problems escalate- Opportunity to undertake a 12-month paid industrial work placement- Strong links with local and national organisations including Xyone Security, Fujitsu, IBM, Eutechnyx and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe- International Foundation Year course available offering direct progression onto this degree programme - visit LJMU's International Study Centre to find out moreAbout the Foundation Year The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the ability to study for a degree but don’t have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Cyber Security honours degree programme.
