"I've always been fascinated by cyber security."

Looking to turn a passion into a career?

A fascination with cyber security and the jobs market potential led Connah Astbury to a Degree Level course in Network Engineering Cyber Security with the Lancashire and Cumbria Institute of Technology.

Connah, 21, who has set his sights on a job at BAE Systems after graduation, said: “It’s a really interesting course with a lot of great kit for us to use.

“I feel like if you do well on this course you’ll set yourself up for a good job. I’ve always been fascinated by cyber security and to be able to use equipment like we have here is amazing.”
