Overview
Cybersecurity has become a critical component of every aspect of modern life, from protecting personal information to safeguarding national security.
There is a heightened demand for graduates with interdisciplinary skills and capabilities, from backgrounds like social sciences, psychology, economics, and information science to meet this growing demand.
According to a government report: “Cyber skills are in huge demand across the UK economy. In 2022, cyber security skills in the UK labour market report found that 51% of businesses have a basic cyber skills gap, with an average of 21,600 new recruits needed every year to meet demand in the cyber sector.
