About the Course
The BSc (Hons) Cyber Security and Digital Forensics programme at The British College is run in partnership with the University of the West of England, UK, and is one of our highest-ranking degrees for graduate employment.
This exciting course gives students the opportunity to play an important role in helping businesses to manage cyber-attacks and investigate digital evidence. IT security has become a top priority - and there is currently a skills shortage within the field. This means that highly skilled security professionals are in demand and organisations often approach students from the course - leading to most graduates being in employment within six months of graduating.
Our mix of traditional and creative learning environments enable students to gain essential knowledge and real-world skills to prepare them for their future career and opportunities for employment are vast. Graduates from the course are qualified to enter into a range of careers in the private or public sector, in a variety of roles including working for in-house forensics, e-discovery, security teams, legal practices, and the police force.
Programme Objectives
- Strong employment opportunities, with governments, public services, and corporations dedicating more resources to computer security, following high-level security breaches.
- International opportunities - as the UK government has highlighted an urgent need for skilled graduates within forensic computing.
- Learn to protect IT infrastructure, edge devices, networks, and data - and further prevent data breaches by monitoring and reacting to attacks.
- Acquire skills in maths, statistics, research, and critical thinking, to prepare students for roles as programmers, system and network administrators, and IT security professionals.
