Overview

About the Programme

An education grant of S$1,090 is available to local applicants for the 2025 intakes of this programme. Please contact our programme consultant for more information.

The Bachelor of Science with Honours Cyber Security (Global) programme is designed to equip you with intellectual know-how, management capabilities, practical skills, and state-of-the-art technical knowledge that will enable you to succeed in meeting the cyber security challenges facing modern organisations. In the 21st century, data has become a necessary commodity, which has value in isolation, and more so when viewed as a larger dataset for trends and habits. Data is key to the functioning of modern business and the protection of this data is key to the ongoing success of the digital economy. As systems such as IoT both generate and consume data that grows in capability and complexity, the need to protect the data created, stored, and transited across public and private networks intensifies. Due to this, the need for suitably qualified cyber security practitioners has never been greater.

This programme will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed by employers. Our strong links with industry partners enable us to teach the most in-demand and up-to-date topics. You will learn state-of-the-art technical knowledge, intellectual know-how, management capabilities and hands-on practical skills to succeed in meeting the cyber security challenges faced by modern organisations.

This programme is supported by a vibrant research environment within the centres for Cloud Computing and Cyber Security at BCU and by traditionally strong industrial links with BT , Cisco, IBM, Linux Professional Institute, Microsoft, Oracle, and UK Fast.

Secure information technologies form the bedrock of our modern connected mobile society. Our Bachelor of Science with Honours Cyber Security (Global) programme will equip you to enter this growing and important industry.

The programme takes a practice-led approach, making use of equipment and tools found in the industry to give you the best preparation for a successful career. Our approach prioritises the practical skills sought by industry, backing this up with a thorough understanding of theory. The programme delivers the latest in computing, network, and security technologies, with the opportunity to gain additional accreditation from Cisco, Juniper, Huawei and the Linux Professional Institute.

The programme delivers a well-rounded curriculum in the security of the communication networks; the security of computer processing and storage equipment, and the software that runs on it, both private and public, and both local and cloud-based; the security and accuracy of information and information systems; and the forensic analysis of threats and attacks, as well as management-level skills such as project and change management, maximising your career potential.

Studying computing with us puts you at the heart of an exciting, innovative community.
