UCL (University College London): Crime Science with Cybercrime
| Institution | UCL (University College London) View institution profile |
|---|---|
| Department | Security and Crime Science |
| Web | https://www.ucl.ac.uk |
| Study type | Taught |
MSc
Summary
Modern technologies are often transformational forces for good, but they also leave us vulnerable. The reach and scale of these technologies can allow a single offender to unleash huge volumes of criminal activity, with vastly amplified harms. Join us on this Crime Science with Cybercrime MSc to learn how cybercriminal operations are planned and carried out, and how we can stop them. Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Normally a minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Relevant disciplines include science subjects, for example engineering or computer science; or social science subjects, for example, psychology, criminology or geography. Alternatively candidates may qualify for entry if they can offer five or more years of relevant professional experience (for example in the police service, or as a crime prevention worker). English level: Level 3 |
| Location | London, Bloomsbury Gower Street Camden WC1E 6BT |

Summary
Students will gain a foundation in cutting-edge cyber-security technologies, and will develop knowledge of how multidisciplinary approaches can help to establish the pinch-points in the commission processes of cybercrime, and to design mitigation techniques to effectively disrupt them.
