NordSecMob - Master's Programme in Security and Mobile Computing is one of the European top-quality Masters Courses selected by the European Commission Erasmus Mundus Programme. Erasmus Mundus, which is a co-operation and mobility programme, both promotes the European Union (EU) as a centre of excellence in higher education around the world and supports European top-quality Masters Courses.

Students from any country can apply to the NordSecMob - Master's Programme in Security and Mobile Computing. Both European and non-European students have the opportunity to apply for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarships. The NordSecMob-programme gives the students a chance to experience the cultures of two northern European countries.
The five universities jointly offering this programme are: Aalto University School of Science (formerly Helsinki University of Technology, TKK) in Finland, The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the University of Tartu (UT) in Estonia.

NordSecMob is a two-year Master of Science degree programme (120 ECTS credits). During the programme the students study at two of the five Nordic partner universities: Aalto University in Finland, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and University of Tartu (UT) in Estonia. After completing the two-year programme successful students are awarded two officially recognized M.Sc. degrees: one from each university where they studied at. The NordSecMob joint curriculum has been developed to take advantage of the strengths and research specialization of each member university. Student mobility is implemented by dividing the studies of each student between two universities, a ‘home’ university and a ‘host’ university. The student takes courses focusing on advanced topics in a selected area of specialization, which are:
* Aalto: Technical Information Security and Network Services
* KTH: Communications Systems Design
* NTNU: Information Security
* DTU: Reliable Software Systems
* UT: Mathematical Foundations of Cryptography
The 120 ECTS credits are divided into two blocks: 1-2 semesters of teaching (30-60 ECTS credits) provided by the home university and 1-2 semesters of teaching (30-60 ECTS credits) by the host university. The programme includes three semesters of courses followed by a fourth research semester (Master's thesis, 30 ECTS). The fourth semester is dedicated for thesis writing under the supervision of both the home and host university. The thesis is usually written in a research project either at the university or in industry.
* During the first autumn term studies are taken at one of the three home universities: Aalto, KTH or NTNU.
* Students with the specialization option "Reliable Software Systems" transfer from the home university to DTU for the first spring and the second autumn semester.
* Also students with the specialization “Mathematical Foundations of Cryptography” move from the home university to UT for the first spring and the second autumn semester.
* Students with other specialization tracks relocate after the first year studies to the other host universities (Aalto, KTH or NTNU) for the second autumn semester.
