Cyber Security

Overview

Central to this Cyber Security programme is your portfolio of research work which will explore a key theme and give you the chance to investigate technical, business and process concepts under the context of cyber security and cyber operations. We’ll guide you to develop your portfolio, specialist technological skills and research. We’ll give you the tools to identify and create uncontested market space through innovation.

You’ll master excellent critical thinking skills and an awareness of the application of cyber related technologies into organisations and their information environments. You’ll gain thorough research and management skills, from leadership to change management, helping you to become a cyber security leader of the future.

This course at the University of Hertfordshire is designed to help develop industry-based technical experts who are looking for greater flexibility and enterprise focus than a PhD traditionally may offer. This course integrates easily with your work and host organisation by giving you the opportunity to focus your contribution of knowledge around your organisation and your day job.
