Graduates of this programme will acquire technical skills in computer hacking investigation and prevention, preparing them for careers in networking and cyber-security. The course includes a 12-week industrial attachment and offers internationally recognised credentials from EC-Council.
Organisations depend on their information networks for mission-critical operations. Highly trained networking professionals are needed to ensure these infrastructures are resilient and operational. Threats towards networks are ever increasing and rapidly evolving. The security policies that are developed must be able to ensure accurate evaluation of internet traffic, to appropriately filter malicious users.
Graduates from this programme will be well-versed in the technical skills of computer hacking investigation and prevention, paving the way for a potentially lucrative career in the field of computer and networking security. There are global opportunities in sectors that have a rapid demand for networking and cyber-security experts such as the banking or financial industry, large private organisations, or the government.
You will also gain exposure to computer and networking security related practices in business and the industry through a 12-week industrial attachment. Graduates will revolutionise the field of Information Security with a solid foundation leading to internationally recognised professional credentials awarded by EC-Council (IT Security Certification Body from the USA):
On successful completion of the programme, graduates will also be awarded a degree from Lancaster University. They will be awarded two certificates, making them graduates of both Sunway University and Lancaster University.

A credit in Mathematics at SPM level or its equivalent will be required for the following qualifications and its equivalent:
Candidates with only a pass in Mathematics will need to enrol and pass a Mathematics Enhancement subject at the beginning of study.
The above requirements can be excluded if the Foundation / Matriculation programmes offered a Mathematics subject and the achievements are equivalent / higher than a requirement of a credit in Mathematics at SPM level or equivalent.
International students from certain countries that want to take some Sunway University degree programmes (for example programmes in partnership with Lancaster University) will need to take and pass our online six-month International Preparatory Programme (IPP). This is a requirement to enrol on a Sunway degree programme that also leads to a degree awarded by Sunway's partner institution. Students are required to pass all the subjects with grade C or above to progress to the degree programme.
