This course does not have a year 1 or 2 as the requirements are an HND Computing: Software Development or a similar Computing with Software Development diploma award.
At Robert Gordon University the Cyber Security and Network Management degree is a two-year top up programme that leads to an Honours degree for those with a relevant HND. Almost every aspect of modern life depends on the efficiency, reliability and security of computer networks, from how we communicate with family and friends, to the functionality of a business’s operations.
The course is highly practical and will equip you with the skills needed to become a professional engineer or consultant in the design, configuration and management of computer networks.
The focus of the course is the underlying principles and practice of computer and data networks; emphasising installation, operation and security and maintenance of computer networks used in business.
