Cyber security, the umbrella term for computer, network and information security is of increasing importance – new legislation, technologies, vulnerabilities and threats necessitate frequent system updates.

This course offers a critical awareness of current developments and future trends in cryptography, network security and mobile/wireless security. You will explore techniques and technologies to combat threats such as malware, social engineering, data leakage or zero-day attacks, based on understanding secure authentication mechanisms, access control, intrusion detection, information security policies and user education. A project/dissertation will enable you to study an area of interest in depth. It can be an excellent selling point.

The recent evolution of Internet services, with video representing more than 80% of the data traffic, and the growth of on-demand video streaming (as offered by YouTube, Netflix, Amazon) and live streaming (as offered by Facebook, Twitch, etc.) require new professional roles. The parallel evolution of wireless networks (with 5G and in particular the Internet of Things paradigm) requires strong knowledge of the latest wireless communications strategies and standards for such professional roles.

The MSc Course in Mobile Networks and Media Streaming will address both areas above and the graduates will be able to apply for jobs in the wide market opened by such evolution.

The overarching aim of the MSc Mobile Networks and Media Streaming programme is to provide practically based education and training for students seeking employment in the areas of networking, media streaming, and wireless communications. The course offers postgraduates the opportunity to develop their skills in networking, media streaming and wireless communications and relevant security aspects, preparing them for careers in this fast-growing and exciting area, which spans virtually all areas of wireless, networking, and media communications.

This course offers the knowledge and skills for designing, developing and operating secure IP-based networks. It offers practical skills in the specification, design, modelling and implementation of software and hardware. You will gain specialist knowledge of digital communications, multimedia communications, wireless networks and security issues. You will study the technologies of LTE and 5G wireless networks and the Internet of Things.

You can combine this course with management studies. The Management Studies pathway is ideal if you aspire to a management position in the industry. The aims of the course are to:

• Provide knowledge, skills and a critical appreciation of the principles of data communications.
• Enable you to analyse a system and design an appropriate, custom solution.
• Develop subject related practical skills.
• Provide you with the opportunities to develop written and oral communication skills;
• Prepare you for employment, research, further study and lifelong learning by developing their intellectual, problem-solving, practical and key (transferable) skills.

This degree has your future career in mind. It enables you to take the first steps to becoming a chartered psychologist. Your studies will be supported by purpose-built research laboratories and psychological analysis equipment, including eye trackers, a driving simulator, EEG (recording brain activity) and specialist survey software.

Topics include schizophrenia, counselling and positive psychology, autism, cyberbullying and prejudice. You'll be able to tailor your studies to suit your interests and ambitions. There are opportunities to participate in original research projects and you'll be supported by research-active academics.

You'll develop highly-valued skills, including critical analysis, data analysis, research, statistics and report writing. Specialised work placements will give you direct work experience – much sought-after by graduate employers.

This course offers a cross-disciplinary insight into the changing landscape of the media industries from mass communication to the new digital age.
