MSc in Security Technologies and Applications - Surrey

MSc in Security Technologies and Applications

Many of today's security technologies involve a hybrid combination of different fields that include digital watermarking, steganography, network security, cryptography and biometrics. For instance, many homeland security and law enforcement applications are now using multimodal biometric technologies based on a fusion of face, fingerprint and iris recognition technologies, instead of a single biometric technology, to improve identification accuracy.

This degree aims to train computer and information security professionals with in-depth, state-of-the-art knowledge and relevant skills in response to the rapidly changing landscape in security technologies and applications. The core competence of the programme includes an introduction to multimedia security, secure information hiding, security and cryptography, network security, digital watermarking and authentication, biometrics and computer security.

Typical entry requirements

Candidates should have a first degree in computing or cognate disciplines from a UK university or the international equivalent. They should have obtained the degree at Upper Second or higher level. In exceptional circumstances, work experience may also be considered if the candidate has achieved less than Upper Second.
