University of Hertfordshire

Hey,

Glad you're considering the University of Hertfordshire to study Cyber Security!

Here are some things you might like to consider when making your choice:

•

We are proud to be ranked in the top 3 for computer science in the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES, Advance HE, 2023)

•

You will be able to use our state-of-the-art facilities, with our new home for the School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science opening this year - check it out here

•

We are accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional. This will give you a massive boost when your career begins!

Chat with Mahendra, a postgrad student in the School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science who will be able to give you a great insight.

It's a really exciting time to be a Cyber Security student at Herts - we hope you join us on this journey!

Hope this helps,

Juan
