The School of Computer Science, University of Galway, offers a unique Level 9 Postgraduate Diploma in Cybersecurity and Software Development. This programme is designed to prepare students for the demands of the digital age by reskilling and upskilling them in Cybersecurity while simultaneously training them for software development. Most computing courses aim to deliver high-quality software focused on functionality. In accordance with demand, this course is exclusively designed to augment learners' skills by teaching them the essentials and advances of Cybersecurity for modern software development.

 

This Level 9, two-year, part-time programme has been developed in tandem with the industry on the advice of the regional skills fora and informed by discussions within the ITAG Cyber Forum. It has been designed in consultation with start-up enterprises, SMEs, and large multinationals to give you the expertise and knowledge required to progress your career.

 

Considering the growing skills shortage of software developers with a knowledge of Cybersecurity, graduates of this programme will be able to bridge the gap between software development and security teams.
