You will contribute to the delivery and development of our innovative undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, helping to equip the next generation of cyber security practitioners. We are really proud of our work environment; undergraduates, postgraduates, and research students work together alongside academic and support staff. The way we teach here is non-traditional, you won't be handed a menu of content to serve up to the students. Instead, we follow an applied, project-based approach to learning. Join our team and you'll gain access to extraordinary facilities and equipment, such as:

• The world's largest PlayStation development lab.
• Cyber security labs with the latest forensic equipment.
The Cyber Security degree requires students to develop a strong working knowledge of ethical hacking, network intrusion detection and computer network security. In their final year, students can engage with specialist areas including advanced penetration testing, information security management, cyber threat intelligence and virtualisation technologies, such as software-defined networking.

The School of Computing and Digital Technologies is a large and vibrant school engaged in taught programs, research and innovation, and knowledge exchange. All our UG and PG programs are underpinned by project-based learning, which facilitates embedding industry experience across all the programs. The school is home to the multi-disciplinary team that composes the Smart Interactive Technologies lab, which focuses on innovative research and developments investigating all the aspects of modelling and applying physical and intelligent systems, which coexist harmoniously. The School of Computing and Digital Technologies is in the top ten biggest computing departments in the UK, with more than 2,000 students and nearly 100 staff. Our size means we can cover a lot of ground., Our School is located right at the heart of Sheffield city centre, putting you right in the middle of this industry. Sheffield is home to a thriving digital and tech industry, employing over 21,000 people and generating billions of pounds in the region. Alongside our many connections with digital and tech businesses, we conduct our own work in industry. Steel Minions is our commercial games development studio, where students create and publish their own games on the PlayStation store. We also work closely with the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC), the Advanced Food Innovation Centre (AFIC), and the Centre of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence and Organised Crime (CENTRIC). Our students also work on live projects with businesses as part of their course, so there are plenty of opportunities to collaborate and set projects with industry, from Sheffield's many IT firms to the biggest names in computing. It's not just the students who'll be building networks and furnishing their CVs.
