    Information Security/Ethical hacking- Which University in West Midlands
    Hello, i'm currently in college studying ICT and i've decided on what I want to study at university, Information security/ethical hacking. My question is which of the listed unis would be the best in terms of information taught? (my goal is to become a penetration tester) I have to remain within 2 hours of my home due to various personal/family reasons and I live in the West Midlands.

    Wolverhampton university- http://courses.wlv.ac.uk/course.asp?code=CC021H31UVD

    Staffordshire university - http://www.staffs.ac.uk/courses_and_...tcm4239162.jsp

    Birmingham City University - http://www.bcu.ac.uk/courses/compute...s-and-security

    Coventry University - http://wwwm.coventry.ac.uk/course/un...ns_degree.aspx

    I think that's all of the universities in my area...if someone could take five minutes to skim through course content and give their opinion on which is best or has been to one of the universities and can give me some advice/information, i'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    Coventry was the 2nd uni in the UK to have an Ethical Hacking degree. I am at Abertay in scotland and have spoke to a number of students from Coventry who seem to see its worth.
