Ethical Hacking / Security University Degrees UK

One of the most popular posts on my blog is the Guest post: Current Available UK Degrees by 1337speak in April last year. I have decided to update the list as to keep the information up to date.

You who know me will know that I my self am enrolled on one of these University courses. I believe that if your starting out in security and want to make a career out of it this may be the best place to start. For me the course has done wonders, not only in what I have learnt however the people I’ve met and the drive it has given me to succeed in my chosen career.

BSc Security/Ethical Hacking Degrees in the UK:

Ethical Hacking for Computer Security – Northumbria University

UCAS G550

I have surprised myself at how many courses are actually out there! Most of the courses have started in the past 3 years and will be starting in the next 2. It looks like there will be a lot more job competition in the next 5-10 years in the security industry. That’s OK, it will keep me on my toes. It seems information security in the UK is starting to become widespread and this can only be a good thing in the long run.

The listed courses above are for BSc university degrees, there are also MSc security courses and others out there which I have not listed.
