Program Overview
Pre-Master's Computer Science
The principal aim of the programme is to enable graduate students to linguistically and academically negotiate the transition to university and be prepared for the demands of a postgraduate degree programme in either cybersecurity or data science. The programme syllabus is designed around the acquisition of core academic knowledge, skills and literacy development that underpins successful higher education outcomes.
Successful completion of the Pre-Master’s programme at the required level will lead to progression to the MSc Cyber Security or MSc Data Science at Lancaster University Leipzig.
The Pre-Master’s Computer Science programme offers students an optimal preparation for their success at the taught postgraduate course of their choice. Students learn through a combination of formal, interactive lectures in relevant content areas, interactive seminars, practical workshop sessions, IT-enabled self-study opportunities and peer support activities. Practical application of theoretical knowledge allows students to develop further skills and understanding of relevant topics and concepts. In addition, formative learning opportunities are incorporated into each of the modules.
Progression to: MSc Cyber Security
This programme will prepare you for an exciting and rewarding career in cyber security, application and software security, and cyber law enforcement, among others.
Cyber security is one of the greatest challenges of contemporary society, and it will only become more complicated as we progress. As a result, our programme provides you with the depth of knowledge and wealth of skills required to engage with and overcome these challenges.
During your studies you will study and explore eight taught modules and complete a substantial research project. These interdisciplinary modules will allow you to draw on expertise across four areas: Computing, Law, Sociology and Politics. Through studying these modules, you will develop a range of technical skills and gain specialist knowledge that will be invaluable as you progress in your career. Modules include Penetration Testing, Network and Systems Security, and Cybercrime.
In addition to the taught modules, you will also work on an individual research project, supervised by two academics. Through this project, you will obtain an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of cyber security and technology. You will put the skills and knowledge you have developed throughout the year into practice and gain experience of tackling real-world cyber security issues.
Alongside this technical experience, you will develop practical skills, such as how to gather and analyse data, and how to accurately present and communicate your findings. Moreover, the engagement team will support this opportunity to generate opportunities and valuable network links within industry. All of which will enhance your career prospects.
The aim of this programme is to equip students with state-of-the-art knowledge and the skill set needed to lead a successful career in cyber security in an international context. The ambition is to help shape the cyber security of the future, enabling them to analyse and solve problems and to make decisions with an awareness of the strategic context, the role of technology and of managing within and between organisations. The programme is designed to provide you with a solid core knowledge in Cyber Security, Network and System Security, Cybercrime and Forensics, as well as legal aspects.
