BSc (Hons) Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity

The specialist skills and knowledge to thoroughly test the security of computer systems, make them secure and investigate properly if they are compromised are not typically taught within a standard computer science course. In contrast, our course has been developed to provide a good practical and theoretical understanding of cybersecurity, hacking, digital forensics and the underlying computer science.

This course offers a balanced blend of practical experience and theoretical understanding in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and core computer science principles. Our standardized labs enhance the learning process, providing students with a realistic environment to develop their skills.

Graduates of this course are well-prepared to pursue careers as cybersecurity analysts, penetration testers, forensic analysts, security consultants, or security researchers. With their comprehensive education and practical training, they are equipped to make meaningful contributions to the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity and address the challenges of today's digital landscape.

On successful completion, student should be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the underlying technology, design methods and programming languages required to practice in the domain cybersecurity; the cultural, commercial, ethical and professional issues connected with Ethical Hacking. Digital Forensics and Ethical Hacking and professional practice within them; emergent technologies.
• Apply appropriate design and problem-solving techniques to computing, ethical hacking, cybersecurity and digital forensics requirements or issues.
• Conduct an in-depth investigation and make recommendations relating to the development and implementation of a product in a domain appropriate to Ethical Hacking and Network Security.
• Use design, production and programming tools relevant to cybersecurity in exploit development and associated areas. 
• Apply usability human computer interaction (HCI) design techniques in the context of a product relevant to cybersecurity.
