The Abertay cyberQuarter is a new £18m cybersecurity research and development centre housed within Abertay University.
This initiative brings together students, academics, and organisations to help solve global cybersecurity challenges.
The Abertay cyberQuarter aims to:
-
Increase technical problem solving for industry.
-
Increase industry-academia interaction and collaboration.
-
Increase access to cyber employment opportunities in the area.
With a worldwide shortage of cybersecurity skills, we are offering businesses access to new talent, as well as giving real-world experience to our students. This is especially relevant if you are keen to recruit our Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity graduates or from our partner colleges and other upskilling/reskilling initiatives.
The centre can work with businesses across all sectors, raising awareness of cybersecurity and developing fit for purpose cybersecurity solutions while continuously developing the skills of students and professionals.
To join our exciting new venture or find out more, get in touch with Cheryl Torano: c.torano@abertay.ac.uk.
