Pervasive increases in cyber crime, industrial espionage and politically motivated cyber attacks are a persistent and global threat. An urgent and fundamental step towards mitigating and combating such threats requires the employment of skilled cyber security and digital forensics professionals to work in government, business, finance, insurance, industrial, media, legal and intelligence services, as well as many other employment sectors. 

As a response to these challenges, the School of Computer Science and Mathematics offers a full field in cyber security and computer forensics. This degree is a state-of-the-art course, based on our previous experience of offering a course that has been pivotal in the careers of many alumni who are now working for leading organisations in cyber security related roles. 

Kingston University's cyber security and computer forensics degree programme is driven by student employability.

Additionally, selected students are offered the unique opportunity to pursue selected industry recognised certification examinations at an appropriate time during their degree studies and to ultimately distinguish themselves professionally at an early stage in their future careers.
