Senior Lecturer in Cyber Security

Computer Science with Cyber Security - UH-000030

Requirements apply to students taking a BCS accredited course. Please refer to the Programme Specification Document under Section 18 'Regulation of Assessment' for details.

The recruitment and admissions process endeavours to ensure a good match between the abilities and aptitudes of the applicants and the demands of the programme. The aim is to facilitate widening participation whilst ensuring that students can reasonably expect to succeed on their chosen course.
Candidates must be able to satisfy the general admissions requirements of the University of Huddersfield <a href="https://www.hud.ac.uk/media/policydocuments/Admissions-Policy-Taught-Courses.pdf">Admissions policy</a>  and the specific requirements of the course which can be found on the University’s website <a href="https://courses.hud.ac.uk/">course finder</a>.
Candidates with non-standard qualifications and/or experience will be considered on a case by case basis.  For candidates with supplementary qualifications and/or experience it may be possible to take this into account and offer these candidates exemption from specific modules, or entry onto a later year of the course.
The overriding consideration in admitting a student to any of these courses is evidence that the student is likely to be able to complete the course satisfactorily.

Report on University Review
The programme will be offered for accreditation by the British Computer Society for graduates to enter BCS’s professional entry examinations (CITP) and to obtain the (partial or full) status of Chartered Engineer (CEng) / Chartered Scientist (CSci). Accreditation will normally constitute quinquennial external audit/review.
In the periods between professional institution accreditation visits, quality will be monitored and maintained via the external examining system. The teaching quality of staff responsible for delivering course modules will be assured by a mandatory FHEA requirement. An additional quality indicator will be the significant involvement in the delivery of the programme of staff contributing to Research Excellence Framework submissions.

The School of Computing and Engineering provides additional student support using a variety of approaches:
<ul>
<li>All students undertake an induction programme at the start of their studies.</li>
<li>All students have a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT), with whom they should discuss academic difficulties. The PAT will refer tutees to central help facilities as appropriate.</li>
<li>A Guidance Team supports students with a wide range of Learning and Academic skills development (<a href="https://students.hud.ac.uk/unilife/sce/studentsupport/">Student Support - University of Huddersfield</a>), through seminars, workshops and 1-1 appointments.</li>
<li>A central computer-based attendance-monitoring scheme is operated and students with poor attendance are contacted and advised.</li>
</ul>
The School has a specialised placement unit offering extensive support to students undertaking placements within their course. This includes CV reviews, interview practice, placement searching and guidance on all aspects of the application process.
