Course summary

On our MSc Computer Networks and Security, you cover topics such as current and future internet protocols, programming networked services, and securing these systems. We offer a strong practical element through laboratory programmes in software engineering and in computer networking. Laboratory work in security includes unique environments where the techniques of attackers can be observed and stopped using specialist security tools. Our School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today's computer scientists are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. Our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.
