About Cyber Technology MSc, MSc - at De Montfort University

We’re living in a digital age, and while this technology and connectivity gives us so many benefits, it also means hackers and cyberterrorists have more opportunities than ever before to sabotage institutions, businesses, and even individuals.

This programme is developed in partnership with a range of national and international organisations, including Deloitte UK, Airbus, BT, and Rolls-Royce, ensuring you learn about the issues at the forefront of the sector.

Teaching is delivered by our expert staff at the Cyber Technology Institute, which has been named as an NCSC Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research thanks to its pioneering research in incident response and cyber threat intelligence, industrial control systems and sociotechnical security.

You can study our Cyber Technology MSc course by focusing on one pathway and specialising in your chosen area of interest (Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, or Software Engineering) or by choosing mixed pathways and selecting modules which could lead, for example, to a degree in Cyber Technology with Artificial Intelligence.

The National Cyber Security Centre – part of GCHQ – has certified the Cyber Security pathway in the MSc in Cyber Technology in recognition of its excellence in providing students with a broad foundation of skills.
