In today’s digitized world, where most of our activities are related to online platforms, the
information security has become more essential than ever. Most countries have launched national
strategies for the implementation of cyber security. In these, the education and training of information
security professionals get particular roles. The National Cyber Security Centre created a common
framework for cyber security education in the United Kingdom for the universities offering degrees
in information security. The aim of this paper is to examine and compare the British cyber security
degrees. The first chapter examines and compares the British universities and degrees from a
theoretical aspect, including the necessity of these programs. The second chapter examines the
degrees from several aspects based on the data of the Scopus database, with a special focus on the
thematic modules, and the academic activities of the 1,650 examined university instructors.
