More information about the programme

The university's pedagogical principles guide our teaching. These principles support high-quality teaching and create a safe learning environment. For example, our students become important teaching resources for each other, with engaged teachers available and open to in-depth dialogues. The university's pedagogical idea is based on active learning, where students' learning processes contribute to solid subject knowledge alongside personal development, i.e., skills and abilities that lay the foundation for both employability and lifelong learning.

Our programs are built on a solid foundation in central subjects such as computer and cloud security, practical applications as IoT/OT security, and modern advanced technologies. The master’s program in Cybersecurity provides good opportunities for students to deepen their knowledge in various subjects through elective and project courses. We develop and offer commissioned education in the subject, but also with a broader perspective, such as cybersecurity culture.

We are an engaged partner in the strategic collaboration Campus Total Defense, along with several other Swedish institutions. Campus Total Defense brings together academia, authorities, and industry to create an education, research, and innovation platform. The strong connection between research and education is important and applied practically within our courses and programs.
