There are many reasons why Cyber Security is fast becoming one of the most important aspects of Computing. The monetary value of data has led to an increase in cyber-crime, meaning computing professionals with Cyber Security knowledge and expertise are in high-demand. This course aims to prepare you for an exciting and impactful career in the Computing industry. More than ever, businesses are using websites as their primary revenue stream and are facing continuous pressure to protect against attackers. Web-based systems are particularly vulnerable to malicious attacks due to the ability to connect remotely. Industry needs computing professionals who have both technical expertise to deliver new impactful and innovative solutions for end-users, but also those with Cyber Security knowledge to reduce the likelihood of solutions being compromised. This course aims to provide you with skills and experience to help you develop new web-based technological solutions for organisations. This involves looking at web, desktop, and mobile-based solutions. In addition, you will be taught how to analyse cyber-security risks and how to take necessary steps to mitigate them. This will involve looking at: * Core principles of cyber security * Aspects of cryptography for data security * Principles of access control and biometric systems * Mechanisms to identify and test vulnerabilities * Secure coding principles, preventing the exposure of vulnerabilities * Principles and practises of digital forensics To help develop your programming abilities, you will learn many common and essential programming languages, such as JavaScript and PHP. You will also learn frameworks like Bootstrap. You are encouraged on day one to explore and experiment with new technology and novel concepts. In your third year you will also get the opportunity to undertake a work placement where it will be an excellent opportunity to put your new knowledge and skills into action. After you graduate you may end up working for a company who specifically wants you for a skill or product you developed in your final year project, or you may decide to take it to market and become an entrepreneur. To be successful on the course you will need a strong interest in the technical side of web/app development and connecting with a variety of data streams, alongside the drive to be at the forefront of the next big step in the fight against cyber crime. Additional Costs: On this course optional field trips may be offered to destinations in the UK, which you would need to pay for if you choose to attend. Previous trips in recent years have included a visit to The National Museum of Computing for 1 day at a cost of £20.00 per student. Other field trips may cost more.
