This programme enables you to design and implement security and surveillance systems. You will graduate with an understanding of the techniques used to protect computer systems against attack and how individuals can be identified from images and video. In addition, you will be able to implement a system that uses image and sounds from surveillance systems to identify events.

At the end of the programme you will be able to apply your thorough understanding of security and surveillance issues to act as a technical consultant for any organisation intending to develop or enhance these systems.
