Course summary
Today’s society relies on computing and computer technology, creating a high demand for internet security products and services as well as people with the knowledge and expertise to design, implement and manage secure internet applications. While this pathway is mostly technical in focus, you will also learn about the business context and develop interpersonal skills that are vital to problem solving in business. Whichever option you take, you will study six modules and complete a dissertation. Some of the optional modules are only offered according to staff availability and student numbers.
