UK Spy Agency Certifies Master's Degrees In Cyber Security
An anonymous reader writes Intelligence agency GCHQ has just accredited six UK universities to teach Master's degrees in online security that meet the intelligence agency's "stringent criteria." From the press release: "The certification of six Master's degrees in Cyber Security was announced by Rt.Hon Francis Maude, Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he visited GCHQ today. This marks another significant step in the development of the UK's knowledge, skills and capability in all fields of Cyber Security as part of the National Cyber Security Programme. The National Cyber Security Strategy recognises education as key to the development of Cyber Security skills and, earlier in the year, UK universities were invited to submit their Cyber Security Master's degrees for certification against GCHQ's stringent criteria for a broad foundation in Cyber Security."
Ive always found this to be highly confusing.
Why does a politician have the title of "right". Right of what? As opposed to left, or as opposed to wrong?
And what caused the most confusion is the Honourable title.
Calling a politician honourable is highly oxymoronic and ironic. It makes no sense whatsoever for all definitions of honourable that I have been able to find.
Can any Political Scientists ( yet another weird title ) care to explain what is meant here?
