Cyber resilience is at the heart of technological innovation. It is a critical aspect of the transformation taking place across every industry. If you are looking for a degree to prepare you for a futureproof role in any industry, this is the course for you.

Whether you are already a cyber resilience professional or looking to move into the sector. MSc Cyber Resilience provides an in-depth study of the technical aspects as well as the necessary managerial skills of such a role. This course will allow you to receive the full support of a Masters-level degree while allowing you to continue to work full time.

Why study this subject?

Cyber Resilience goes beyond traditional cyber security, emphasizing an organisation's capacity to sustain core functions amidst cyber threats. This course encompasses prevention, response, and recovery from cyber incidents, aiming to minimize their impact and facilitate swift and effective recovery.

One key aspect of cyber resilience is its recognition that security is not solely a technological challenge but fundamentally a human problem. To adapt and stay up to date companies must adopt a holistic approach that includes physical, human, and procedural security systems.

To achieve this holistic approach we teach mathematics for statistical risk assessment, computer science for security provision, cryptography for secure communications, and business management skills for policy development and organisational resilience.

MSc cyber resilience explores the complexities of securing and maintaining digital systems in the 21st century. This degree is not confined to a specific cultural or national context; it addresses global challenges from ethical and professional perspectives. Cyber resilience has become a crucial skill set in the workforce, and as a graduate of this course, you'll be prepared to take on leading roles in any industry.
