I would definitely recommend study Ethical Hacking at Abertay. It serves as a solid foundation, allowing you to gain an understanding of ethical hacking and its various disciplines. With this broad knowledge base, you can then focus your efforts and resources on the specific areas that interest you the most.Jack Cavar | Abertay University | BSc (Hons) Ethical Hacking
The worldwide shortage of cybersecurity specialists means that our graduates usually find jobs easily, with many headhunted before graduation.
Our alumni work for prominent organisations such as Scottish Power, NatWest, Skyscanner, GCHQ, NCC Group, Moonpig, Amazon, BT, NCR, Cisco and more.
They often become security testers, but some work in defensive roles in network management and software development. Others have set up their own successful cybersecurity consultancy businesses.
This degree is fully certified by the National Cyber Security Centre, a part of GCHQ. A panel of cybersecurity experts from academia, industry and the UK government has reviewed the programme and confirmed it meets national standards for undergraduate cybersecurity education. When you graduate, you'll receive a personal NCSC certificate alongside your degree — a credential you can use directly in job applications to show your qualification has been independently verified.
This degree is also accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. An accredited degree entitles you to professional membership of BCS, which is an important step towards Chartered IT Professional (CITP) status. Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees.

How do hackers break into computer systems? Is it easy to breach a corporate network and steal data? What steps can organisations take to prevent attacks? These are just some of the questions this degree will answer.
You’ll learn how to take a practical approach to cybersecurity by deliberately breaking systems and circumventing security defences. You'll learn the skills you need to:
Understand the process behind hacking attacks.
Develop appropriate countermeasures.
Gain the technical knowledge to undertake security audit testing on computer networks and systems.
Communicate effectively to all levels.
You’ll learn through a blend of lectures, tutorials, practical work and reading. The majority of modules make use of online learning resources. Real world case studies of major attacks and data breaches are used provide the opportunity for critical analysis and evaluation in class.
During practical exercises, you’ll be expected to evaluate your own work to make sure the products you develop are functional and fit for purpose.
Knowledge and skill are assessed through project work, reports, portfolios and practical assessments. Approximately 20% of the programme is assessed by examination.
Please note: All applicants must have a pass in Maths - National 5 grade C or GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent. National 5 Lifeskills Maths and Application of Maths NOT accepted in lieu of Maths.

Explore the common questions asked about this degree.
Ethical hacking is the practice of breaking into computer systems, network frameworks and software applications deliberately and with permission. It is also referred to as 'penetration testing'.
The aim of ethical hacking is to identify any security vulnerabilities in systems and applications before malicious hackers can exploit them.
At Abertay, we take a unique offensive approach, teaching you to think like a hacker in order to uncover vulnerabilities and develop countermeasures.
The BSc (Hons) Ethical Hacking degree at Abertay University takes four years of full-time study to complete.
This standard undergraduate structure in Scotland features a specialist four-year curriculum, allowing you to gain deep technical expertise earlier than traditional computing degrees.
All applicants must have a Nat 5 grade C pass in Maths or GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent.
Highers - Grades BBBB. Must include one of the following at Grade C: Computer Science, Maths, Human Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering Science, Geography, Physics or NPA in Cybersecurity.
A-Levels - Grades CCC. One of the following: Computer Science, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Design & Technology, Digital Technology, Engineering Science, Environmental Science, Geography, Physics.
There are a wide range of cybersecurity careers one can pursue after completing an Ethical Hacking degree. Due to a massive global shortage of skilled professionals, graduates from this course are highly sought after and often headhunted before graduation. A few of the potential career paths available are:
Offensive security testers.
Penetration testers.
Network management.
IT security administration.
Software development.
Many graduates even establish their own independent ethical hacking consultancy businesses.
Abertay alumni work for prominent global and local organisations, like GCHQ and Cisco.
Yes, you can progress to postgraduate study after completing this degree.
Graduating from this BSc (Hons) course provides a solid foundation across various cybersecurity disciplines, making you an ideal candidate for further academic specialisation at an MSc level.
Because this undergraduate degree is fully accredited by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and other renowned bodies, your qualification is independently verified to meet strict national standards.
While cybersecurity is an overarching field within the tech industry, ethical hacking is a specialised area within cybersecurity.
The field of cybersecurity protects digital systems against unauthorised access, damage or disruption, involving anything from designing secure networks to investigating security incidents.
Ethical hacking focuses solely on proactive testing. It prevents security breaches by identifying, exploiting and documenting vulnerabilities under authorised conditions.
To apply for the course, you must achieve at least four Highers at grade BBBB, or three A-Levels at CCC. Plus you need to have a mandatory pass in Nat 5/GCSE Maths, grade C/4 or above.
One Higher/A-Level at grade C (or above) should be in one of the following subjects:
Computer Science or National Progress Award (NPA) in Cybersecurity.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Human Biology.
Engineering Science.
Geography.
These subjects ensure you possess the analytical, logical and scientific mindset needed to tackle the technical challenges within the curriculum.
