BSc (Hons) Cyber Security and Digital Forensics

The BSc (Hons) Cyber Security and Digital Forensics programme at The British College is delivered in partnership with the University of the West of England (UWE), UK. It stands as one of the college's highest-ranking degrees for graduate employability. This course provides students with the opportunity to play a significant role in assisting businesses with managing cyberattacks and investigating digital evidence. As IT security has become a major priority, a notable skills shortage has emerged in the field. Consequently, highly skilled security professionals are in high demand, and organizations frequently approach students from the course. This results in a high rate of employment for graduates, with most securing a position within six months of graduation.

The programme combines traditional and creative learning environments, enabling students to acquire essential knowledge and practical, real-world skills that prepare them for their future careers. Employment opportunities for graduates are extensive. Alumni of the course are qualified for a variety of careers in both the private and public sectors. They can pursue roles within in-house forensics, e-discovery, and security teams, as well as in legal practices and law enforcement agencies like the police force.
