Level 4 Diploma in Cyber Security - 8 -10 Months - 120 Credits
The Undergraduate Level 4 Diploma in Cyber Security is a 120 credit course designed to fast-track students to the final year of an associated Undergraduate B.A (Hons) endorsed in Cyber Security, which can either be completed on campus or via distance learning. The course is made up of 6 units of Level 4 modules (120 credits).
The endorsed Diploma in Cyber Security (Level 4) provides a solid foundation in Information Technology Security (20 credits), Principles of Computer Science (20 credits), Algorithms and Data Structures (20 credits), Computer Networks (20 credits), Mathematics for Computer Science (20 credits), and Operating Systems (20 credits). It emphasizes academic rigor, critical thinking, and effective research methods.
Course Details
Each module consists of 40 guided learning hours of material with an additional 30-50 hours worth of optional materials which comprise of recommended exercises, recommended readings and internet resources. Within the modules are self-testing exercises. You must take care in answering these. Although they are not marked nor do they count towards your final assessment, the marking is tested against your scoring on the final assessment to check for consistency of score.
Successful completion of the full Level 4 endorsed Diploma in cyber security will give students the right credentials to go on and apply for a job in marketing, accounting, human resources, management or business consultancy.
Upon the successful completion of the course, the student will be able to learn the following:
- Learn key concepts and practices to safeguard systems, networks, and data from cyber threats.
- Explore the foundational theories and concepts that underpin modern computing and software development.
- Master the design and implementation of efficient algorithms and data structures for solving complex problems.
- Understand the principles of networking, including protocols, architectures, and communication techniques.
- Build a strong mathematical foundation for problem-solving, algorithms, and computational theory.
- Study the design and functionality of operating systems, focusing on resource management and system processes.
