Ethical Hacking BSc (Hons) - the benefits are clear:

Internships and industry projects

Our Ethical Hacking students often get high-quality internships in 2nd-3rd year and 3rd-4th year. This is earlier than most other degrees due to the specialist four year curriculum. Third year students also work in teams on a client brief/project developed by external companies. This means in term one you prepare a proposal, then in term two you deliver the finished project. You'll be guided by academic staff who meet with teams once a week to monitor workload and progress.
