Higher and Degree Apprenticeships / Available Apprenticeships / Cyber Security Technical Professional Integrated Degree Apprenticeship

What you will study

Taught over 3 years, this course consists of 12 taught modules and a work-based project. Modules are delivered in 2-day blocks every 4 weeks, with additional independent study.

Apprentices will need to complete their work-based assignments at their workplace and we estimate that on average successful completion of each module will take 15 hours study/development per week; approximately half of this will be covered by the 20% off-the-job learning hours. How the remaining study hours are completed should be discussed and agreed between the employer and apprentice.
