Cyber Security - MEng
Key information
Cybersecurity is now a critical priority across industries, from banking and e-commerce to defence and telecommunications.
The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Cyber Security equips you with the skills to protect digital systems, networks, and data from evolving threats.
You’ll explore cryptography, digital forensics, biometric authentication, and secure programming. Modules include hands-on work with advanced programming, cryptographic mathematics, and security protocols used in real-world systems. You’ll also learn how to analyse vulnerabilities, design secure infrastructures, and investigate cyber incidents.
The programme includes a major engineering project where you’ll apply your knowledge to solve a real-world security challenge. It is equally suitable for recent graduates and established professionals in preparation for roles in technical leadership, security analysis, or digital forensics
During this programme, you will:
- Gain a deep understanding of cyber threats and vulnerabilities in sectors such as banking, e-commerce and telecommunications. You will use programming, cryptographic and forensic methods to analyse threats and security measures.
- Master digital forensics to detect, prevent and counter cybercrimes, and help employers maintain secure, adaptable systems to protect enterprises and users.
- Understand vulnerabilities in e-commerce and mobile applications and navigate a variety of communications and networking infrastructures. Showcase your skills with a completed engineering project - a valuable asset for job applications.
- Build in-demand expertise in data preservation, biometric techniques, and security protocols to succeed in the competitive technology and cybersecurity job market.
