Bletchley Park has been chosen as the site for the UK’s first National College of Cyber Security.
The plans were confirmed by the not-for-profit cyber security body QUFARO, with intentions to open the site by 2018. The new facility will be built at the site’s G-Block, which is one of the facility’s largest buildings. At present, a £5million restoration project is being conducted to convert the building to a security technology centre.
The college will be a free-to-attend boarding school for up to five hundred 16-to-19 year olds. Pupils are to be selected on talent regardless of background, and taught cyber skills as well as a range of related subjects. The programme is intended to help increase the UK’s potential for helping young people learn cyber security skills, in the face of the increased threat of cyber warfare.
The site is to be built at the historic location where codebreakers including Alan Turing broke the Enigma code during World War Two. For the full article click here
