Level:UP Cyber Security Week 2026:

A hands-on opportunity for aspiring cyber security professionals

Are you passionate about cyber security and curious about what a future in the industry could look like?

SE Labs is inviting university students and young adults to apply for Level:UP Cyber Security Week 2026 — a five-day programme designed to give participants practical experience, industry insight, and a clearer view of the skills needed to build a career in cyber security.

Taking place from 6–10 July 2026 at our Wimbledon Village office, the programme offers a chance to learn directly from a company working at the forefront of cyber security testing. At SE Labs, we evaluate next-generation security products using detailed testing and real-world threat intelligence across endpoint, appliance, and cloud security.

A week of practical cyber security experience

Throughout the week, participants will:

• take part in interactive tutorials
• experience immersive red and blue team labs
• build skills in identifying vulnerabilities and defending against cyberattacks
• develop practical knowledge relevant to real cyber security roles
• strengthen communication and teamwork skills through group activities
• put their learning to the test in a Capture the Flag competition

This is designed for students who want more than theory. It is a chance to explore cyber security in a practical, engaging environment and gain experience that could help shape future study and career choices.

Because we want to provide a personalised experience, places are limited. Successful applicants will need to attend in person from 10:00 to 15:00 each day for the duration of the programme. Our office is about a 15-minute walk from Wimbledon Station and can also be reached by local bus routes. Please note that parking is not available.

How to apply

To support the selection process, applicants should submit:

• a cover letter explaining their interest in cyber security and highlighting any relevant projects, research, or academic achievements
• ideally, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member who can comment on their potential and skills in IT or a related field

Applications should be sent to levelup@selabs.uk with the subject line:
