The School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing at Leeds Beckett has joined a prestigious list of academic institutions across the UK to receive official recognition for its MSc Cyber Security, from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
Leeds Beckett is one of ten universities around the UK to have become the latest to receive official recognition for a postgraduate degree in cyber security from the country’s leading experts.
The institution was successful in the latest round of NCSC degree certification scheme, which recognises high quality in cyber security education.
Chris Ensor, NCSC Deputy Director for Cyber Growth said, “I am delighted that Leeds Beckett University’s Master’s in Cyber Security is now certified by the NCSC.
