Abstract
We adopt Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and professional qualifications for adapting models of deliveries of teaching the module of Cyber Security at the University of Lincoln (UK). To achieve this, we investigate I4.0, the challenges it sets to higher education, and professional qualifications. Our findings are used to devise three models of delivery, namely Comprehensive, Partial and Merged. Our discussions show that our strategy of the integration of I4.0 within the curriculum development effectively prepares students to stand out from the crowd by possessing industry ready accreditations along their computer science degrees and the skills required for their future career in cyber security.
