Program overview
A nineteen to twenty month master degree in information security, covering network defence, ethical hacking, digital forensics, security governance and a security project.
This enhanced route keeps the full IELTS 6.5 requirement while accepting 50 percent academically, so it addresses a marks gap rather than a language one.
Enhanced Extended Master of Science in Cyber Security is taught at the University of West London, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the enhanced cyber security master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the enhanced cyber security master ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the enhanced cyber security master you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the enhanced cyber security master as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the enhanced cyber security master cannot support a family move.
Candidates for Enhanced Extended Master of Science in Cyber Security present a bachelor degree at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the enhanced cyber security master is recorded at GBP 21,000 a year.
