Be the difference in the defence against cyber security threats with an MSc in Cyber Security from Northumbria University London, accredited by the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
Cybercrime affects every industry, and effective cyber security is needed to prevent serious damage to real people and businesses.
If you want to make a difference and be a force for good, a career in cyber security could be the perfect choice for you.
Hear from current students and Professor Hamid Jahankhani, Cyber Security Programme Lead, about why you should study a Master’s Degree in Cyber Security at Northumbria University London, a Top 40 UK university (Guardian University Guide, 2024).
On top of the workforce shortage, the cyber security industry faces a major skills gap according to recent UK government research from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
