To find universities offering relevant degrees, you need to search for programs with these keywords in their course descriptions:
* Cybersecurity: This is the most common and encompassing term. Many cybersecurity degrees will include substantial network security modules.
* Computer Science (with specialization in Security/Networking): Look for computer science programs that allow you to choose specializations or modules related to security or networking.
* Information Technology (with specialization in Security/Networking): Similar to computer science, IT degrees often offer security specializations.
* Information Security: This is another common term for degrees focusing on security-related topics, often including network security.
You should search the university websites directly using these keywords. Major UK universities known for strong computer science and cybersecurity programs (and therefore likely to offer relevant specializations) include but aren't limited to:
* University of Oxford
* University of Cambridge
* Imperial College London
* University College London (UCL)
* King's College London
* University of Edinburgh
* University of Glasgow
* University of Manchester
* University of Warwick
* University of Bath
* Surrey University (known for strong cybersecurity programs)
* Royal Holloway, University of London
How to find the specific programs:
1. Go to the university websites: Visit the websites of the universities listed above (and others you're interested in).
2. Search for relevant departments: Look for departments of Computer Science, Cyber Security, Information Technology, or similar.
3. Browse undergraduate programs: Check their offerings for undergraduate degrees (BSc, MEng, etc.). Carefully read the module descriptions to see if network security is a core or optional component.
Remember to check the entry requirements for each program as they vary considerably. Good luck!
