More information about the programme
Information security is becoming increasingly important today. In this 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. During 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 establishing and maintaining well-functioning information security in organisations. After finishing the Master's programme, our students can get highly qualified jobs in Sweden and internationally.
