**Become a highly skilled cybersecurity expert who can find and fix security vulnerabilities on this hands-on degree. Right from the very start, you’ll be analysing, designing and implementing secure software systems.**<br/><br/>Using your grasp of programming and computer architecture, youll create secure systems with fewer vulnerabilities, covering both offensive and defensive techniques. This course delivers lots of practical experience, working across desktop, mobile and embedded platforms.<br/><br/>**Develop measures to stop cyberattacks** <br/><br/>The UKs national cybersecurity strategy identifies software vulnerabilities as a key threat and makes building security into software from the start a national priority. But most software developers arent cybersecurity experts – and thats what the industry needs right now. <br/><br/>Your specialist developer expertise will make you hugely employable. Youll be prepared for the rapidly evolving cybersecurity work environment, using your expertise in ethical hacking, computing, secure software engineering and human-centred security. <br/><br/>**Cybersecurity experts are highly sought after**<br/><br/>The worldwide shortage of cybersecurity specialists means that our graduates usually find jobs easily, with many headhunted before they even graduate.<br/><br/>This course ranked **UK top 5 for Course Satisfaction** (Computer Science and Information Systems) in the 2022 Guardian University Guide. And the 2024 Complete University Guide named us the **top Scottish modern university for Computer Science**.<br/><br/>**Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education** <br/><br/>Abertay University was one of the first eight UK universities to be awarded Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education, and the first in Scotland to gain Gold. This is recognition by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) – part of GCHQ.
