Digital threats are becoming more sophisticated and cyber security is now a major concern for organisations and individuals. UK businesses experienced an estimated 7.78 million cybercrimes last year (Gov UK, 2024). Over 70% of medium to large businesses also reported experiencing a cyber security attack or breach.
Recognising the rising need for skilled cyber security professionals, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve launched two online postgraduate courses in collaboration with our education partner, QA Higher Education.
Simon Nelson, Chief Executive at QA Higher Education, had this to say about the new launch:
“This is a significant milestone for Northumbria University’s partnership with QA Higher Education, which is now in its 13th year!
We’re delighted to be taking our first steps into the world of fully online delivery, giving postgraduate students greater access to high-quality, flexible education.
We have launched two Masters programmes in the first instance, MSc Cyber Security and MSc Cyber Security Technology. These online Masters degrees will be delivered over two years, allowing students to work whilst securing their next qualification in support of their career ambitions.”

Everything is delivered online, with 24/7 access to our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This will suit anyone with a full-time job, childcare responsibilities, or a busy lifestyle. Our online degrees allow you to fit your studies around your commitments.
Both programmes offer practical skills and theoretical insights, which you can apply to your current role or future roles.
Your ‘classroom’ exists wherever you are. All you need is a laptop and internet connection.
Our online cyber security programmes are delivered through a part-time study schedule. This allows you to fit your studies around your job. There is no need for you to take time out from full-time employment.
As an online Northumbria University London student, you get full access to our student support services. You can also visit our London campus whenever you’d like whilst you’re a student.
