Aalborg University’s new M.Sc. programme in Cyber Security is an engineering programme targeted at B.Sc. graduates interested in privacy, network and software.  Cyber Security is a cross-curricular master’s programme which draws on a number of research environments gathered in the cyber security research programme. The Cyber Security educational programme equips you with the skills to handle challenges in the increasing number of cyber-attacks, which companies and institutions are facing.
YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT
  • Crisis communication
  • Strategic planning and design of solutions for development, test and verification of secure systems and software
  • Development of critical risk- and threats analysis
  • Analysis and handling of cyber threats and prevention of attacks
  • Design and upgrade of the architecture in IT-systems
  • Network security and honeypots
Half of your time is spent on project work in groups according to the AAU Problem Based Learning-model. Apart from good cooperation skills, this will give you the ability to handle technical problem solving at a high level as well as the capacity to work with and manage all phases of a project. However, you are also trained to master development-, analysis- and service tasks on independent level.
