The CyberFirst Student Bursary scheme inspired and led by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) which aims to help, support, and prepare undergraduates for a career in cyber security. NCSC partner with other government departments and selected industry members to offer students a comprehensive package of financial assistance and cyber skills development opportunities whilst studying for an undergraduate degree.

The CyberFirst Student Bursary and Development Scheme is a unique opportunity to join the CyberFirst student community that rewards you for your talent and commitment whilst you study at university.

Quite simply, this is a student development opportunity like no other. Working with GCHQ, the NCSC, as well as over 150 industry members and other government departments, you’ll gain unrivalled insight into the constantly evolving world of cyber security, taking on some seriously unique, real-world research tasks and projects.

Think cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. It’s a challenging, varied and meaningful development opportunity that you simply won’t find anywhere else while gaining your degree of choice. The programme could potentially lead to exciting roles within government and industry. Particularly in intelligence and national security organisations or their industry partners, where you’ll help to shape and further advance our technical capability, including our ability to tackle national security threats.

Closing Date for Applications is 1pm on Monday 20th November 2023.
