The cyber security landscape is constantly evolving and organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to defend themselves from these ever changing and persistent threats. It is critical that both business and government agencies protect their systems and data from potential risks arising from these threats. Because of this, there is a demand for qualified cyber security professionals. Our cyber security and networks degree course is an opportunity for you to develop knowledge and skills necessary to address these challenges and meet the demand.The course aims to give you a fundamental understanding of how to protect organisations, networks, IT systems and individuals against cyber attacks and potential risks.You will be taught by staff who are actively engaged in cyber security research and possess substantial experience of the application of security-related technologies in industry. You will learn how information systems, network infrastructure and overall organisational cyber-physical environments are vulnerable to attack, and gain practical skills in assessment and management of cybersecurity risks. You will learn the main areas of the discipline, including Cyber Security, Security Control, Cyber Security Risks Management, Network Engineering, Information System, and Software Development with a variety of specialised topics such as Network Monitoring and business continuity within the areas of networks and cybersecurity.
The module aims to provide a basic understanding of computer architecture and the relationship between hardware and software components of a computer system. It also aims to equip students with an understanding of the fundamentals of computer networking.
This module develops the skills and techniques required for analysing, modelling and designinginformation systems and covers some of the key legal, social, ethical and professional issues relating to the information systems development
This module will help students build fundamental knowledge in mathematical concepts and skillsthat are required for the study and application of computer science. This module starts with the basic arithmetic and algebraic concepts that are used in almost every aspect of computer science. This is followed by topics on logic that are fundamental concepts used in the functioning of computer hardware and design and programming of software. Computer science theory heavily relies on proofs. This module will handle the basics of proof techniques. The module will go on to cover topics in basic abstract and linear algebra and touch upon advance topics like groups and using matrices to solve systems of linear equations. Finally, the basics of probability and some concepts in statistics will be covered.
Developing fundamental professional skills is increasingly critical for successful graduate-level employment, entrepreneurship and career progression in the 4th industrial revolution.
This module provides students with the skills necessary to design, implement and test softwareapplications using a high-level programming language. The module is taught from first principals and assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. The module focuses on programming fundamentals such as variables, control structures, arrays and the procedural programming methodology and then goes on to introduce the object-oriented programming concepts of objects, classes and inheritance.
The module will allow learners to examine the requirements for web applications and to selectappropriate tools and techniques with which to design and build them. They will be able to use those selected tools and techniques to design, implement and test web pages. They will be able to provide professional documentation for the web pages produced.
To provide apprentices with an overview of the different types of threat to networks and computersystems, and the measures that can be put in place to counteract and mitigate against these threats. The module also will introduce you to some of digital forensics investigation techniques and imaging tools.
This module introduces fundamental principles of data communication and provides a detailedunderstanding of internetworking using the TCP/IP suite of protocols. You will have opportunities to gain hands-on experience of data communications technologies and the use of the TCP/IP suite of protocols for the implementation of contemporary computer networks and related applications.
This module aims to provide you with the theoretical and practical knowledge that influences the design, implementation and applications of database management systems. It promotes the understanding of database systems in information management by providing technical skills that are required to deploy a database management system using various languages and tools that can be used within games development.
