Summary
Lead in cyber defence with practical skills and industry-aligned training.
This Master’s degree in Advanced Cyber Security gives you the advanced knowledge and practical experience to respond to modern cyber threats and protect sensitive data, systems and networks from attack or misuse. Developed in collaboration with industry and aligned to National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recommendations and the CyBok framework, the course is built around three core themes: offensive security, defensive security and information security governance. You’ll graduate as a well-rounded cyber security expert, able to use industry tools to build secure systems and reduce risks.
You’ll learn to conduct penetration testing (ethical hacking) and vulnerability analysis, will explore digital forensics and applied cryptography concepts, while also gaining the strategic insight to design policies and frameworks that reduce risk and ensure compliance with standards such as GDPR and ISO27701. Course modules are integrated with professional certifications including Cisco Networking (CCNA) and Cyber Security (CyberOps), Certified Ethical Hacking (CEH) and ISO27001 ISMS Auditing – available to study alongside your degree at reduced or no additional cost.
You’ll also have the chance to engage in professional groups, cyber challenges and competitions to sharpen your skills, and as a Cardiff Met student you’ll benefit from our Academic Partnership with the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec), qualifying for Student Membership and beginning your journey towards Chartered status.
