Overview
The Ethical Hacking (Hons) degree from Abertay University gives you a rigorous understanding of cybercrime and the technical skills needed to stop hackers. You’ll learn to protect data and information systems, combining computer networking with digital forensics and programming.
Along the way you’ll develop key life-long skills like independent and logical thinking, research expertise, and the confidence to communicate clearly.
Career opportunities
The worldwide shortage of cybersecurity specialists means that our graduates usually find jobs easily, with many headhunted before graduation. The alumni work for prominent organisations such as Scottish Power, NatWest, Skyscanner, GCHQ, NCC Group, Moonpig, Amazon, BT, NCR, Cisco and more.
They often become security testers, but some work in defensive roles in network management and software development or have set up their own ethical hacking consultancy businesses.
