BSc (Hons) in Cyber Security & Digital Forensics - Kingston University (UK)

In response to the growing global threats of cybercrime, industrial espionage, and politically motivated cyber-attacks, ESOFT Metro Campus, in partnership with Kingston University – London, offers a forward-thinking BSc (Hons) in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics. This programme addresses the increasing demand for skilled professionals across a wide range of sectors, including government, finance, law, media, and national security.

With demand for qualified cyber security experts far exceeding supply in both Sri Lanka and internationally, this degree aims to close the skills gap by producing highly trained, career-ready graduates. The curriculum combines in-depth academic learning with practical application, equipping students with critical skills in ethical hacking, incident response, digital investigation, and information assurance. Industrial placements are strongly encouraged before the final year, providing students with hands-on experience and increasing employability.

Career readiness is embedded throughout the course. Key competencies such as technical documentation, professional communication, and interview techniques are introduced early to support successful employment and placement opportunities.

Students can obtain a Higher National Diploma (HND) after two years, which allows them to enter the workforce early and complete their honours degree. The programme also offers flexibility to finish the degree in Sri Lanka or transfer to a partner university in the UK or Australia, depending on personal and professional goals.
