Computer Science with Cyber Security with Foundation Year Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Do you want to lead the fight against the growing risk of cybercrime?

Cyber attacks are in the news more than ever before. The increased threat from cyber criminals means computing professionals with cyber security knowledge and expertise are in very high demand. Studying a degree with cyber security at Huddersfield positions yourself at the forefront of this increasingly vital field. You’ll be on track for a fast-paced, rewarding and diverse career.

Our foundation degree is designed for students who have the capability to pursue a degree at Huddersfield but do not yet have the required qualifications. The foundation element lasts one year to bring you up-to-speed. If you pass, you’ll progress onto our BCS-accredited BSc(Hons) degree. Once on the full course you’ll enjoy the same benefits as our other students. These include working in our Centre for Cyber Security, which includes academics currently working on UK Government's Cyber Security Advisory Board.

Why choose Huddersfield for this course?

Ground yourself in the foundation year to bring yourself up to speed before progressing onto a BCS-accredited degree if you pass.

A Common First Year across our Computing suite of degrees gives you the flexibility to switch courses later if another area is of more interest.
