MSc Cyber Security

12 Months On Campus Masters Program

Edge Hill University

Program Overview

Cybercrime threats are growing as the economy increasingly depends on the Internet, such as through cloud computing, electronic communication and e-commerce, with estimates showing that they cost the UK up to 27 billion annually.In addition, surveys from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills show a significant shortage of information security professionals and a lack of security awareness, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), indicating an urgent need for student education, the provision of up-to-date educational resources, industry training and the embedding of good practice.This MSc in Cyber Security addresses these requirements by increasing relevant knowledge and skills in line with the UK Government s National Cyber Security Strategy, while also addressing the national skills shortage in information security.
