MSc Cyber Security: USW vs. UHerts?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a difficult time deciding between two universities for my master's degree in cyber security: the University of South Wales and the University of Hertfordshire. I'm hoping to get some insights from current students or alumni who might have experience with either program.

I'm particularly interested in the following aspects:

Course curriculum
Faculty expertise
Industry connections: Does either program offer strong industry connections for potential internships or work placements?
Student experience: What is the overall atmosphere and support system like at each university?

I've already reviewed the program information on both university websites, but I would appreciate any additional information or personal experiences you could share.

Thank you in advance for your help!
