Computing (Security and Reliability)

This integrated Master's focuses on the security, reliability and privacy of computing systems. Students examine software security issues and learn to apply formal verification and machine learning, building systems that are secure and dependable at every level of design. The course is built around the fundamental principles of computing and the engineering considerations that shape real systems, supported by practical applied work. Students gain a deep understanding of how privacy and reliability concerns arise in software, and they practise applying modern techniques to realistic designs. An industrial placement is part of the programme, and an I-Explore module gives credit in a subject outside computing. Graduates work in cybersecurity, reliability engineering, research and secure software development. Students develop a clear sense of how security decisions affect users, organisations and the wider public.
