CyberFirst Student Bursary and Development Scheme for Under Graduates

We’re looking for motivated individuals with a technical aptitude and real passion for all things cyber. With a number of varied roles in our CyberFirst Student Bursary scheme, it’s a unique opportunity to pick an exciting challenge that rewards you for your talent and commitment. If you are about to start your first or second year of undergraduate study in September 2017, you could benefit from a mix of financial and development support for the first few years of your career.

Quite simply, it’s a student development opportunity like no other. Working with GCHQ, industry and other government departments, you’ll gain unrivalled insight into the world of cyber threats, terrorism, espionage and organised crime. Cyber security is constantly evolving, giving you the opportunity to explore different challenges. Alongside your degree, you’ll develop your career in a way that you couldn’t do anywhere else.

To take advantage of this opportunity, you’ll be studying a STEM related degree at a UK University and / or have tangible evidence of understanding computers, how they work and how to secure them. During each summer, we’ll arrange for a security related placement – either on a specific training course, or as a work placement within a government department or industry partner. You’ll need to have a keen interest in accepting challenges in varied areas, as we value an emphasis on self-development.
