The course will specifically focus on responses to serious, present, and emerging threats in the information domain. The course enables the student to gain an organisational view of cyber from a defence and security perspective, the domain, the drivers, and constraints. Whilst a technical understanding is of value, the course is designed to ensure that the bigger, contextual, aspects of cyber is understood thereby enabling decision making in relation to cyber to be undertaken within an organisation.
Course Delivery
The course is taught in a series of one-week residentials at the Cranfield University at the Defence Academy, a military establishment in Shrivenham.
It has two components: a taught component comprising twelve 10-credit modules (PgDip/MSc) (PgDip has six 10-credit modules); and (MSc only) an 80-credit research project assessed by dissertation.
