Description
The Master's Programme in Security and Cloud Computing (SECCLO, Erasmus Mundus) focuses on two specific aspects of modern computing systems, cloud computing and information security. With cloud computing, we mean highly distributed and scalable computation and data storage in data centers, as well as physically accessible devices. Information security encompasses the protection of computation, communication, and data from unauthorized access.
During the SECCLO studies, students gain practical engineering knowledge and theoretical insights into secure systems engineering, distributed application development, network and service architectures, and cloud and mobile platforms. The programme aims to educate highly professional engineers to meet both the immediate hiring requirements and the long-term needs of the European ICT industry.
Benefits of Studying Security and Cloud Computing at Aalto University:
- Gain practical engineering skills
- Research-based curriculum
- Combine security knowledge with hands-on skills
- Opportunities to specialize in specific technical areas
- Meet the industry's demands for security professionals
Requirement
- Hold a degree granting eligibility to apply
- Provide an accepted proof of language proficiency (Optional)
- Submit all required application documents by the deadline
Structure
SECCLO is a double degree programme offered by a consortium of six highly ranked universities in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, and France. The programme leads to two Master of Science degrees (double degree) from the two universities the student has studied in.
The two-year programme comprises a total of 120 ECTS credits:
- Mandatory and elective courses at Aalto University (50 ECTS)
- Summer school and summer internship (10 ECTS)
- Specialization studies at one of the other consortium universities (30 ECTS)
- Master’s thesis (30 ECTS)
