Shaping Cybersecurity talent for today & tomorrow
York College, a pioneer in addressing the UK’s IT skills gap, continues to set the benchmark for digital education. In partnership with tech solutions provider boxxe, the college’s Foundation Degree in Digital Technologies with Cybersecurity has established itself as a flagship programme, equipping students with the skills needed to thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
A proven solution to the IT skills gap
When launched, this degree was one of the UK’s first to place cybersecurity at its core, preparing graduates to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in this critical field. The degree remains instrumental in addressing the IT skills shortage, which was highlighted in 2023 when 93% of UK businesses reported gaps in expertise.
Cutting-edge learning environments

Equipped with the latest industry-standard tools, the lab enables students to tackle real-world challenges, fostering a seamless transition from education to employment.
Sustained success
Since launching, the partnership between York College & boxxe has helped countless students develop critical cybersecurity skills, kickstarting successful careers in the field. For those already working in tech, the college’s BCS Level-4 Apprenticeship – Cybersecurity Technologist offers a flexible route to upskill & advance their expertise.
We're dedicated to our team's health and wellbeing. This partnership highlights our commitment to providing opportunities for our employees to focus on their health.
