About MSc Cyber Security, MSc - at Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick

Our world is increasingly shaped by cyberspace, a vast network of digital devices which store, modify and transfer information. Vehicles, architectural infrastructure, industrial controls, finance flows and medical devices all operate across the cyber domain. Its influence continues to grow, as does the associated security risk. Studying Cyber Security at Warwick will deepen your cyberspace knowledge, so you'll understand the nature of this evolving cyber environment, and how to protect and enhance the human experience within it.

WMG offers two Cyber Security courses; Cyber Security Engineering (CSE) and Cyber Security and Management (CSM). Both programmes include the core modules of: Security Architectures and Network Defence; Cryptosystems and Data Protection; Information Risk Management and Governance; Digital Forensics, Evidence and Intelligence; and Industrial Espionage and Counterfeiting.

Students on the Cyber Security Engineering course will then take the additional core modules of Cyber Intelligence and Operations; Cyber-Physical Systems; and Enterprise Cyber Security. Module assessment will be technically deeper than that on the CSM course.

Students on the Cyber Security and Management course will have relevant optional modules relating to various aspects of management in context. All modules feature real-world teaching input from major national and international organisations. That means you'll learn from the likes of IBM, PwC, Nettitute, Dstl, and UK law enforcement and government agencies. You'll gain a complete appreciation of digital technology within enterprise - from reconfiguring firewalls during cyber-attacks to persuading the board to take new risks.

Learning Style

The taught component of the course is highly interactive and varied with a mixture of lectures, syndicate or group work, practical and lab based work, and technology enabled learning.
Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 30 students per class.
Module leaders are experts in their fields and are supported by external speakers working in organisations at the forefront of their fields.
Assessment is through Post Module Assignment based on the learning objectives of each respective module.
50% of the Masters credit is achieved through your individual project or dissertation, for which you will have close 1-1 supervision
Each module will usually be delivered in intensive one-week blocks so you are fully immersed in the subject area for that period. These one-week sessions are scheduled at intervals from October through to June.

Your Career

These courses will leave you in an excellent position for a fast-advancing career in a rapidly growing industry. Our graduates work in a number of commercial, industrial and public sector roles at strategic and operational levels, carrying increasing responsibility for cyber security across the globe.
