COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc in Computer Science with Cyber Security provides a comprehensive education in computing, programming, and specialised cybersecurity techniques, preparing students to address the growing challenges of digital threats. In the first year, students build foundational knowledge in computing fundamentals, programming, mathematics, computer architecture, object-oriented programming, algorithms, data structures, software lifecycle, and quality, alongside personal and professional development. This combination develops essential technical and transferable skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and communication. In the second year, students deepen their understanding of operating systems, networks, databases, information security, software architecture, and secure software development, while also choosing optional modules in data analytics, AI, user interface design, or computation foundations. Practical team-based projects provide experience in software development, security implementation, and system management. The final year allows students to specialise in cybersecurity through modules such as ethical hacking, penetration testing, cryptosystems, and AI security, ethics, and management, while also pursuing a major computer science project. Additional options in advanced AI, data science, mobile and web applications, cloud computing, and functional programming provide flexibility for individual interests. Throughout the degree, students develop analytical, technical, and ethical skills, preparing them for careers in cybersecurity, information security, network protection, and technology-focused roles where they can design, implement, and manage secure digital systems in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
