Spend a year on an accredited, paid industrial placement between Stages 2 and 3.

Study specialist modules in Stage 3 – such as cryptographies and software verification technology – to develop skills and knowledge for your chosen career.

Security and Resilience

Graduates of our degrees in Security and Resilience will have particular knowledge and skills related to the development of dependable software systems.

Armed with knowledge of issues such as security mechanisms for computing, software verification techniques and tools, cryptography, and cryptographic protocols, you will be well placed for employment in technical positions in software houses and with companies designing and deploying dependable software in safety-critical industry sectors.

BSc or MComp?

Some of our degrees are offered at two levels:

  • three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) 
  • four-year Master of Computing (MComp)

You can transfer between our degrees up to the end of Stage 2  (although transfer from a BSc to an MComp is dependent on your academic performance). 
 
Our MComp degrees involve an additional year of advanced study during which you follow master's-level modules from one of our MSc programmes. This provides you with a deeper level of knowledge that some employers will look for when recruiting. 
 
If you are unsure whether to apply for a BSc or an MComp, please contact us for more information.
