This Graduate Apprenticeship allows you to enhance your skills and improve your career prospects in the field of Cybersecurity by studying for a fully-funded university degree while in a paid, relevant job role. You will be equipped with the academic skills, industry accreditation and work experience that will give you a competitive advantage in a demanding marketplace.

 

Combining three of the most sought-after streams of computing, this course capitalises on the rising awareness of the importance of network security and is a valuable foundation to a successful and well-paid career. You will gain an enhanced knowledge of cybersecurity and develop the skills to adapt to challenging situations across a global computing infrastructure. This Graduate Apprenticeship provides relevant fundamental knowledge related to cybersecurity such as encryption and authentication, and also provides relevant practical examples through lab-based practice,  while emphasising engineering practice.

 

Our Graduate Apprentices will typically initially work in job roles such as IT Support, Helpdesk, Technician, Analyst and Junior Engineer. They may also be in more senior level roles within IT more broadly, but looking to enhance their Cybersecurity skills. You will not be expected to undertake a cyber related role right away, but should aim towards working in this area as you progress into the latter stages of the course. This should be supported by your employing organisation.
