In the Master's programme, you will deepen your knowledge of security work in large and small organisations with a socio-technical perspective on the interaction between people, technology, working methods and regulations.\nDuring the programme you will learn, for example from real cases and incidents, how conscious staff, technical solutions, well-developed and tested procedures and a good security culture can contribute to well-functioning information security in organisations. Our students can get highly qualified jobs in Sweden and internationally.\nThe digitalisation of society and organisations is progressing and we are increasingly dependent on well-functioning and secure information systems. The international programme combines the study of theoretical, technical and organisational aspects of information security with the practical application of solutions to concrete cases, such as security incidents, in an organisational and societal context.\nCompanies have a great need for information security specialists who understand the technology and can also lead and develop the organisation's security efforts. Security managers are needed to develop and constantly renew organisations' understanding of different types of threats, possible consequences and technical and organisational measures. Such threats can be internal, such as accidental or deliberate mistakes by employees, or external, such as automated attacks on software and networks by unknown actors. Possible negative effects include the loss, leakage or corruption of important information. Selecting and applying meaningful measures requires knowledge about the value of information to each organisation, the methods for analysing and managing risks, the installed technology, and an understanding of management, legal conditions and people in socio-technical contexts.\nIn addition to academic studies, the programme allows you to carry out projects and case studies with companies and public organisations, developing your ability to analyse security-related challenges in order to quickly adapt working methods to critical changes. Being able to lead and implement security work from a holistic perspective - this is knowledge and expertise that is in demand.\nSome examples of what you as a Master in Information Security can contribute are:\nLeading and implementing security work : as a decision-maker, you can work on security strategies, risk analyses, technical and structural security solutions and the security culture within an organisation from a holistic perspective. Examples of job titles include CISO, Security Officer, Security Manager and Security Strategist.\nNew technologies and digitalisation : You can work in almost any company or organisation to continuously develop methods, attitudes and practices that support the information security of the core business. Examples of job titles include security administrator, data protection officer and security coordinator.\nBusiness and security intelligence : You may choose to work on specific types of information security threats, such as those related to supply chains, digital surveillance and disinformation, and cybercrime. Examples of job titles include security analyst, correctional security adviser and security protection specialist.\nDescription\nIn the first year, you will take courses that provide a solid foundation for information security work in an organisational and societal context, including key information security concepts, applied computer and network security, risk analysis and management, critical infrastructure protection, and information security governance. The studies involve an active search for knowledge, critical analysis and holistic problem solving based on a scientific approach. The working methods vary between individual studies, group work, interactive seminars and lectures. The first year ends with a project course that gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge. The second year focuses on research and current trends in the field. In parallel, you can choose in-depth courses in information security and cybersecurity to specialise your profile depending on your interests and prior knowledge. The second year ends with your master thesis, where you will specialise in an information security issue.\nOverall, the programme allows you to develop deep and useful knowledge and skills in the field that are attractive to employers operating both locally and in the global marketplace. A Master's degree also qualifies you for postgraduate study.\nThe programme is offered both at a distance and on campus. For distance learners, there are no compulsory meetings on campus. You will need a computer, headset, webcam and the ability to install software on your computer.\nCareer opportunities\nThe programme provides a broad socio-technical competence in information security, while giving you expertise in your field of interest.
