About Crownshire University

Affordable UK degrees online or on campus in York.

Overview

This MSc is for IT leads and operations managers in Upper Midwest small and mid-size firms—job shops, clinics, credit unions, and campuses—who must run cyber as operations, not as a conference badge. Crownshire University will not award CISSP, will not teach exploit development as a product, and will not put vendor or agency seals on the page. You will design patch and backup cadence, vendor-access rules, and incident comms a plant manager can follow. Tuition-free online and York campus share identity-checked assessment. Capstones use SME-scale constraints, not a fictional Fortune-50 SOC.

Delivered on campus in York with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.

**Award:** Crownshire University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
