Course Summary

**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the Campus is closed TEC Partnership will continue to deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support.** Our FdSc Cyber Security, being offered in collaboration with Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology, will prepare you for a career in cyber security and similar fields of digital forensics, cryptography, and computer-related employment. The course focuses on establishing a sound base of knowledge and skills in programming, networking, hardware, databases, and security. Our new Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology facilities at Scarborough TEC will provide you with access to leading technology and innovative teaching spaces that include a Cyber IT Lab and Digital Learning Hub. Alongside the practical skills you will learn on this programme, you will also study professional practices and how to navigate the ethical issues you may face working in the industry.
