Want to do a Cyber Security degree, but I don't know anything about computing?

Question

Hello,

I am from the UK and this year I will be finishing my A Levels (which are Psychology, ICT, and Business Studies), I'm predicted average grades of BBB.

I am really interested in the world of Cyber Security, but I know little to nothing about computing, in ICT we just learn about computers and networks, nothing like coding.

Will this be an issue if I wanted to do a Cyber Security degree at university?

I've been looking at Oxford Brookes.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

I looked them up. I suggest you do the same and ask them.

Answer 2

Without understanding the coding you will probably be restricted as to how high up you can rise in the field. You will be restricted to using existing software.

Answer 3

Not knowing anything about comptures will make it much harder to learn. Start learning what you can now.
