Lancaster University is home to one of the UK’s leading hubs for cyber-security learning, innovation, and community impact. As an NCSC-recognised Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education (ACE-CSE), our mission is to grow a diverse, highly skilled cyber workforce while strengthening digital resilience across the North West and beyond.

Cyber security touches every part of modern life. At Lancaster, we make it accessible — through inspiring teaching, hands-on practice, cutting-edge facilities, and partnerships that connect learners with real-world challenges.

We work across the full education pipeline:

• Schools & colleges discovering digital futures
• University students building technical and professional expertise
• Professionals and leaders developing cyber confidence
• Communities and families learning to stay safe online

Our programmes are powered by major investment in new facilities, a multi-disciplinary academic community, and deep collaboration with industry, government and civic organisations.
