NCSC Names Academic Centers of Excellence in Cybersecurity Education
Abertay University has been named among the first eight UK universities to be awarded Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
The announcement comes as the region receives £11.7m of UK and Scottish Government funding through the Tay Cities Region Deal, which will unlock major investment in Dundee’s cyberQuarter project which brings a new research and development center to Abertay’s campus in Dundee.
In granting Abertay Academic Centre of Excellence recognition, the NCSC recognized the plans for the Dundee cyberQuarter, which is designed to attract existing cybersecurity firms to Dundee, support the creation of new companies and boost the security and resilience of the Scottish business community, as well as the high quality of the University’s degree programs.

Edinburgh Napier University was successful in being recognised with a Silver award.
Each of the successful Gold centres demonstrated they offer at least one NCSC-certified degree, deliver top cyber security training to staff and students from other specialisms within the university, work to improve the institution’s cyber resilience and carry out local outreach activities.
This Gold award for education adds to Lancaster University’s cyber security recognition, which includes recognition by the NCSC of Lancaster’s Security Institute as an Academic Centre of Excellence for Cyber Security Research, and Lancaster University’s Master’s degree in Cyber Security has been certified by the NCSC.
