    At present there doesn't seem to be very many universities doing a great deal at
    undergraduate level in the security domain. The majority of establishments that
    do, are considered lower academically. At PhD level there are slightly more
    opportunities....

    I expect this will change over the next few years with more courses becoming
    available. The course I am currently taking only introduced a `computer
    security' module last year (its now run twice).
