Course Summary

Course overview

Discover the science and cutting-edge technologies that underpin global security in this Master's course.

Organisations, communities, cities and nations have a growing need to be secure and resilient.

This course equips you with a broad range of skills to address this need across industry, government and academic sectors.

You'll study how emerging and disruptive technologies are driving both challenges and solutions to security.

You'll examine cyber and physical threats in critical national infrasructure sectors such as finance, transport, energy, space and healthcare.

Additionally, you'll learn qualitative and quantitative research methodologies with significant reference to human cognition and behaviour.

The course is intentionally broad in focus, giving you the foundations for a range of career trajectories in a world of ever-changing security concerns.

Modules

Security in Context module brings the technical, engineering and science aspects together. It outlines, through a series of vignettes and interaction with practising security professionals, the relevance and applications of the concepts in the core modules and places the elective components in context. The needs and effects of political decisions and regulatory process is also explored out in this module.
