You can be part of the next generation of cyber security and network graduates to support and enhance the world economy – through social developments, medical systems, education, financial institutions or heavy industry. Here, you take a hands-on approach. You focus on network infrastructure, looking at how you can create and manage secure networks. Study subjects that meet the growing needs of industry with input from local businesses and leading international providers. And explore different network platforms and learn about their applications – how different network architectures are used in industry, network convergence, ethical hacking and cyber security techniques. Industry links: work on live industry briefs, competitions and hackathons. Previous companies have included Cisco, Cubic Transportation Systems, Sage, TUI, Atombank, HMRC and Waterstons. Career-ready: our ExpoSeries allows you to showcase your skills to industry professionals who are looking to recruit new and rising talent.
You study a variety of algorithmic techniques and learn about the use and importance of data structures. Consider their properties to understand which representations are appropriate under different circumstances. You are introduced to the basic mathematical skills required in algorithmic design and its interaction with data structure.
Computer networks and cyber security are essential aspects of every business, and key knowledge areas for computing professionals. You are introduced to computing technologies and associated operating systems, along with underpinning concepts. Study network design principles, techniques and technologies to gain an insight into common business configurations.
You are introduced to the fundamental concepts of software development using a modern programming language. Consider key aspects of the process such as designing solutions, writing application code, developing documentation and formal approaches to testing. Gain the essential skills needed for software application, including best practices used by industry and the wider programming community.
Producing a successful, robust, user-friendly system or application begins with analysing stakeholder requirements and a detailed design. Learn about the concepts and techniques of systems analysis and design. In industry, you use visual models to communicate designs to developers and stakeholders before implementation. Using data modelling techniques, you can define how the system will store and interact with data.
You develop a product or service as part of an enterprise project for a real client ? they set the brief based on their organisation?s strategic needs. Working in small teams, you determine the project aims, objectives, roles, tasks, deliverables, schedules and documentation. You then pitch your project to the client.
Ethical hackers are skilled in finding technical vulnerabilities in networked devices. They act lawfully to help organisations identify and resolve security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in their networks.
Develop a detailed understanding of information and network security concepts, as well as the tools and configurations available to defend your network technologies.
Learn about key aspects of network and systems administration. You study current network filing systems, user account issues including bulk and individual account set up, generating IDs and passwords, password policies, account administration, suspending accounts, changing quotas and passwords, and issues with wireless networks.
Develop an understanding of the challenges faced by organisations in a complex and dynamic environment. Explore the controversies and dilemmas of current management thinking and practice.
Design, research and complete your own project to develop the current practice, products or service of a client or your own organisation.
Cognitive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are increasingly being used to solve business problems. AI could transform businesses and industries, so they can develop new ways to interact with customers, offer smarter products and experiences, automate processes and boost business success. As a subfield of AI, machine learning enables us to make predictions on unseen data, business forecasts, or decisions by analysing existing data rather than explicitly programming the calculations.
