MSc in Software and Systems Security

As computing systems become increasingly essential to our everyday lives, they must be available whenever we need them and we must also be able to rely on their integrity, the information that they hold and provide, and on certain details remaining confidential.

On the MSc in Software and Systems Security you will learn about the security issues that arise throughout the systems lifecycle, from concept and inception, design, implementation, and testing, through to deployment, maintenance and re-engineering. This includes a detailed treatment of security and project risk, social and organisational contexts, processes, patterns and architectures for security, and the technologies used in implementation and delivery.

You can choose from a wide range of courses related to software and systems engineering to suit your interests, through this programme of part-time study at a world-leading university.
