**Course Overview** - Security is now a crucial part of business. Our Cyber Security Foundation Entry degree gives you the highly sought-after skills and knowledge to build secure and compliant systems. - Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree. - The cyber security sector is facing a significant skills gap at a time when threats and the consequences of inadequate security are increasing, so your skills will be in high demand. - You’ll gain skills in identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in computer networks and systems, as well as learning how to protect them against hacker attacks. **Why study with us** - You’ll have access to specialist computing labs with the latest cyber security open source and commercial tools. Some labs are open 24/7. - You’ll also develop important workplace skills including logical thought, independent learning, teamwork, ethical practice and communication. - You’ll get involved in our ‘4 Week Challenge,’ where you get to design and develop a new app and create a marketing campaign to promote it.
