Fancy A Degree In “Ethical Hacking & Countermeasures”?

A DEGREE COURSE in computer hacking has been launched by a Scottish university in response to industry demand for IT security experts. The University of Abertay in Dundee will run the Bachelor of Science undergraduate course in “Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures” starting in the next academic year in October.

Around 30 students will be enrolled in the course, which the university says will provide a graduate with knowledge of how illegal computer attacks can be performed and how they can be stopped. Although many existing undergraduate computing degrees cover elements of this new course, Abertay claims to be the first U.K. university to offer a dedicated degree course in hacking.
