Summary
This course seeks to address the global cyber skills gap, providing you with the advanced knowledge and understanding of cyber security issues you need to succeed in this industry.
Why study MSc Cyber Security? Technology is transforming our society in all sorts of ways. From business to socializing, travel to communication, our lives rely on computer systems that drive these processes. This dependency means we're vulnerable to cyber-attacks. If successful, our personal data can be stolen, and our national institutions, critical infrastructure and the technology that drives our society could be compromised.
We need skilled, confident cyber security professionals who understand the technology, and the challenges, so they're able to secure and protect our digital society.
Why UWE Bristol? Learn from industry figures and dedicated, research-active staff with industrial experience and connections with industry. Through access to sophisticated equipment, including simulation software and hardware, you'll test your ideas and strategies and become an adaptable, capable security expert.
UWE Bristol has been recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) as an Academic Centre for Excellence in Cyber Security Education (Gold Award). We're one of only seven Gold ACE-CSEs in the UK, and the only one in the South West region. This award recognises our teaching, research, outreach and industry and external engagement across the region, positioning us by NCSC as "a beacon of cyber excellence for the region".
Where can it take me? With a passion for technology and computer systems, this MSc will provide you with an advanced knowledge and understanding of cyber security issues. This ranges from low-level software vulnerabilities and weaknesses in encryption schemes, to information risk management issues and research challenges in cyber security.
With a practical and technical focus, the course is designed for graduates of computing-based degrees and related disciplines who wish to deepen and extend their knowledge in this area.
Study complex systems and apply your learning through hands-on projects that solve real-world problems. You'll graduate with a broad knowledge base in cyber security, well-prepared for diverse and rewarding roles within this field of work.

Summary
Technology is transforming society in all sorts of ways; from the way that assembly lines are controlled to the way we socialize, we depend on computer systems. Increasingly that dependency means that we are vulnerable to cyber attacks which, if successful, could undermine our national institutions and critical infrastructures, steal our personal data or gain access to private exchanges.
It is estimated that by 2019, companies and public sector organisations will need 6 million security professionals. At present, it is predicted that only 4.5 million will have the right qualifications.
The industry needs skilled, confident cyber security professionals who can help protect new and existing technologies.
This MSc seeks to address the cyber skills gap, providing you with an advanced knowledge and understanding of cyber security issues.
Practical and technically focused, it's ideal for graduates of computing based degrees and related disciplines who wish to deepen and extend their knowledge in this area. You'll study complex, mission critical systems and apply your learning through hands-on projects that solve real-world problems. You will graduate well-prepared for rewarding roles within this field of work.
