We’re proud to be No.2 in England for Student Satisfaction with Course (Guardian University League Table, 2020), investing more than £140m in our campus in the last ten years, including £45m new science laboratories. In 2021 we were proud to be awarded Sustainability Institution of the Year at the prestigious Green Gown Awards as part of our mission to become a carbon neutral campus by 2030. We're committed to supporting you to achieve your career goals, and have a dedicated Careers and Employability team who can assist you to navigate your options beyond Keele. **Foundation Year** The Computer Science (Cyber Security) with Foundation Year will smooth your transition to degree-level study by giving you the time and space to develop your subject knowledge, improve your academic skills and build your confidence and self-belief that you can succeed at university. The programme is ideal for those who do not meet the entry requirements for direct entry onto an honours degree. Following successful completion (including any additional progression requirements) of the Foundation Year you can progress on to the first year of Computer Science (Cyber Security). **Start Dates** We offer a September and January entry point onto this course. (Applicant information for January 2022 entry can be found on the 2021/2022 pages.) The closing date for applications to the September 2022 entry point is the 15th January (unless otherwise stipulated) and the closing date for applications for the January 2023 entry point is the 20th December 2022.

This course will provide a solid understanding of the concepts behind cybersecurity and teach you how to master the techniques to implement secure IT solutions, which are among the most sought-after skills in industry and business. In Computer Science, you’ll learn to use technology to create new opportunities and to solve a wide range of problems, benefiting every aspect of society from the home to business, industry and beyond. By following the Cybersecurity route through this degree programme, you will gain knowledge of the fundamental concepts behind computer and network security and acquire the practical understanding and technical skills for the design and implementation of modern secure solutions. The fundamentals of programming, algorithms, and computer architecture are covered early in our programme, so that no in-depth previous experience is necessary for you to move on to the more advanced topics that will help you build a competitive CV. This specialism is informed by research; you will explore practical application of cutting-edge techniques on real-world problems and later spend time examining current research topics and applying proposed approaches from the literature to practical scenarios. You’ll study industry and research informed modules designed by leading academics, and benefit from strong business links, dedicated career support, and many extracurricular activities.

Modules will be determined by your degree choice and point of entry (i.e. September or January). You will take a combination of subject-specific modules and study-skills modules which will provide you with a solid grounding in your subject area. Visit the website for a list of modules.
