Master of Security Science

The Master of Security Science (MSS) is part of a nested suite of programs, which includes an EC-Council certification, Post Graduate Diploma and a Master's degree with different entry points depending upon previous academic studies. The program is intended both for new and experienced graduates alike, who wish to update their skills or change their area of specialization. It is concerned with the design, management and implementation of network security in corporations and public networks, or service provision to public and private networks.

The focus of the course is to provide students with a wide understanding of Security Science. The course is sufficiently detailed to give an excellent background for a professional career in industrial or commercial organizations, and the required background in security science to enable the student to undertake further study leading to the specializations needed for a research career. The MSS course is suitable for students with a wide range of previous security experience. Request more information, Get Started Now!
