The demand for digital assurance and security management professionals is greater than ever. As our reliance on digital platforms grows, so do the threats directed at them, which are becoming increasingly complex. Professionals with the ability to secure and insure our digital assets will be invaluable in the future.
This bachelor's degree focuses on security management and assurance, combining basic accounting with IT auditing principles. The programme has no specific maths admission requirements. Upon completion, you'll be able to work in areas such as ensuring companies comply with laws and regulations, managing cyber risk, and overseeing security operations.
After completing the program in digital assurance and security management, you can work as:
During the first year of the programme, you will gain a fundamental knowledge of core technical principles and a broad understanding of business management and processes.
The second year is more in-depth and specialised. Here, you will develop expertise in understanding and managing cyber risks, apply knowledge of accounting and auditing, and gain an in-depth understanding of IT architectures. All of this is supported by knowledge and skills relevant to cyber security management.
The third year provides additional skills relevant to IT operational management and business insight. Your knowledge of security management and leadership expands, and you have the opportunity to specialise through elective courses. The year concludes with a bachelor's project, allowing you to apply your latest skills to innovative systems and applications.
