Location of Loughborough University
As the Internet and computer networks become even larger and more ubiquitous the issues of network security are becoming more prevalent. Already, major security attacks have caused problems for industrial and e-commerce sites. These issues concern the application of a broad gamut of computer science theory and practice to the secure networked environment. The student brings much of what is required here from first-degree studies, but some areas, specific to the networks and Internet, are discussed in this programme. The main area to benefit from this is the understanding of security issues. The project allows students to consolidate their knowledge by practical application and allows them to research and develop new knowledge and skills. In the light of the above, considerations of structure, reliability and usability are formally taken into account when assessing these projects.

Module Delivery
Full-time MSc programmes are of 12 months duration. Modules are based over two 15 week semesters, and the rest of the 12 months is spent on a University- or industry-based project. The intensive 2-3 week teaching for part-time students may appeal to local students or those in employment who do not wish to stay on campus. Students are recommended to complete the programme in as short a time as possible (up to seven years available for MSc if necessary), to maintain the relevance of previous study.
