Why study MSc Cyber Security and Pen Testing at Middlesex University?

This course provides intensive practical training and strong foundations in theory covering the technicalities of network security and strategic and organisational issues. Our academics are leading scientists and practitioners in the field, with years of experience in the industry.

Our strong research profile means our courses are innovative. Our academics are internationally recognised in the field of cyber security and they have been commissioned to build Next-Generation Cyber security products some of which have been directly funded by the UK Government.

If you've previously studied computing at university level or you're currently working in the sector and you're looking to develop an advanced mastery of the subject, then this course is for you.

What you will gain

You'll develop the knowledge and expertise to analyse and build security systems, software and hardware applications, secure transactions, authentication measures, and cryptography and encryption techniques.

You'll become familiar with the configurations of different systems in laboratories and learn to choose the appropriate measures and applications for a network.

In addition to gaining proficiency in the subject, you'll also develop your mathematical, problem-solving, communication, time management and critical skills.

Other benefits of the course include the opportunity to gain practical experience in our industry-standard networking labs. We'll also encourage you to explore new concepts and developments. The acquired skills in the programme are in demand in the market and our graduates secured jobs as junior pen testers, security analysts, and security engineers in well-established businesses. A number of our students embarked into PhD studies under the supervision of our academics.
