Surrey Centre for Cyber Security

Our Centre (SCCS) focuses on cybersecurity  reseach and  consolidates cyber  activities across the University. Since 2014, SCCS has been one of UK's NCSC-recognised  Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR). Out of SCCS, we also head Surrey's gold-level NCSC-recognised Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Education (ACE-CSE), since 2020 when this NCSC initiative started. We work with  academics, industry, and government, to establish methods and techniques which innovate in cybersecurity from design to  threat prevention, from the viewpoints of research and education. Indeed, our university was awarded Cyber University of the Year at the National Cyber Awards 2023.

SCCS is  a pan-University centre, with 20+ permanent academics and 60+ researchers,  most being part of the Computer Science Research Centre.

As of 2023, the directions of our work are grouped in research themes.

We offer a postgraduate and research course, both of which give our students the opportunity to be involved in our six research areas.
