NSBM or SLIIT for IT / Cyber Security (after A/Ls)

Okay I’m kinda stuck.

I want to do Information Technology or Cyber Security after A/Ls and I’m trying to choose between NSBM (VU Degree) and SLIIT (Bachelor of Information Technology majoring in Cyber Security).

From what I’ve seen so far:

  • SLIIT seems to have a stronger reputation for IT-related degrees
  • NSBM looks good in terms of campus and structure, but some (on Reddit + Google reviews) say its IT reputation isn’t as strong yet

Main things I’m trying to figure out:

  1. Which uni is better for Cyber Security specifically or should I major in Cyber Security at all for my bachelors?
  2. Are there internship/job opportunities from each?
  3. Any regrets choosing one over the other?
  4. Are there any other good options to go for in terms of unis?

Also:

  • Is it worth specializing in Cyber Security for a bachelor’s, or better to do general IT first?
  • And in general, is IT a good path right now?
