Why Cyber Security at ARU?

  • Study in the Silicon Fen, known for its tech market and range of jobs in computer science industry – the perfect opportunity to connect with top employers.
  • Gain skills in a broad range of cyber security areas, including all aspects of cyber physical systems and associated security issues.
  • Learn about possible attacks and penetration testing scenarios, and how to mitigate them, though hands-on practical exercises.
  • We're a Cisco Networking Academy and EC-Council Academic Partner, covering industry needs and industry-specific certifications including ethical hacking, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, risk management and cyber defence.
  • Access globally recognised certifications like CISSP through our partnership with leading cybersecurity body ISC2.

Cyber security is one of the top priorities for governments and organisations worldwide, yet there is a continuing global shortage of graduates with this skill set.
