MSc Information Security with a Year in Industry

If you want to be more hands-on, you can opt for the MSc Information Security with a Year in Industry instead. Drawing on the ISG’s close links with industry, the MSc offers you opportunities to work at leading organisations on some of the most exciting information and cyber security developments in 21st-century technology. This will give you first-hand experience of working with professionals and applying your theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.

During your first year, you will study the same core and optional modules as the MSc Information Security. However, the difference is in your second-year project, where you will embark on a full-time, salaried work placement which will be assessed towards your final degree. The knowledge and skills you gain in your year in industry will set you apart when it comes to applying for jobs because of your recorded practical experience. This will give you a headstart in paving your way to a successful career.
