introduction

The MSc in Cybersecurity Management is a 90 credit master's degree programme which is taught online and consists of 60 credits worth of taught modules and a 30-credit project. The programme is delivered part-time by night over two years (four semesters). On successful completion of the programme, the student will be awarded an MSc in Cybersecurity Managment.

In the event that a student completes the 60 taught credits and is unable to complete the project (30 credits), that student can opt to receive the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Cybersecurity Management. It is also possible to apply directly for the PGDip programme and a student may opt to pursue a MSc in Cybersecurity Management before completion of the first semester, however the availability of this option will be dependant on places in the MSc programme.

A student who receives a PGDip in Cybersecurity Managment, and who, after some time, decides that (s)he wishes to complete the MSc, has the option of revoking their PGDip, completing the 30-credit project and then presenting themselves for the MSc in Cybersecurity Management award.
