Since space cyber security is a global phenomenon, and all economies are actually dependent on cyber security because it affects all economic sectors, as countries around the world, we have to be involved and participate in the space economy.
"Space is a strategic priority for the University and there is a definite skills gap in the cybersecurity sector – there is a global shortage of skilled cyber security experts of some 3.5 million. We’re focusing on an area that’s got huge employment prospects for our students."
