• Cyber Security: Develop skills and knowledge for cyber security. Material, lectures and seminars in this unit capture concepts of cyberspace ecosystems and the security of socio-technical systems. The unit also covers the life cycle of cyber security mechanisms, including the design, development, management and, most importantly, how they鈥檙e sustained.
• Cyber Psychology: Explore the impact of the internet and social media applications on individuals, groups, organisations and society, and human factors relevant to cyber security and online behaviours. You鈥檒l learn to evaluate the principal features of human factors in current and planned online secure systems and identify means of promoting safer online behaviour.
• Human Factors: Soft systems, human factors integration (HFI), training, trust, organisational learning, information and knowledge management will be examined through case study analysis. You鈥檒l also conduct situational awareness and workload measurements in trials, experiments and exercises, and apply user experience (UX) techniques to evaluate interactive systems.
• Research Methods & Professional Issues: Research requires a structured and disciplined approach at all stages. We鈥檒l help you to develop key research skills in many areas from project proposals and planning to critical analysis of research findings, academic writing and dissemination. We鈥檒l also teach you about professional standards and ethical issues for research.
• Individual Master鈥檚 Project: An opportunity to critically investigate and report on a particular issue in depth.

Choose one option unit in semester 1:

• Security by Design: Security must be addressed as early as possible when building a system or planning organisational change. However, security never seems to be a driving concern when engaging in innovation. When security is addressed, we discover how hard building security in really is. In this unit, you鈥檒l have an opportunity to build security into the design and specification of secure systems, and the broader socio-technical context that these fall into.
• Blockchain & Digital Futures: This unit defines Blockchain technology, its business aspect, issues, objectives, and challenges, covering Blockchain horizontal and vertical scaling, key basics of cryptography required for understanding the Blockchain technology concepts, different cryptocurrencies, and their issues, challenges, and networks.

Choose one option unit in semester 2:

• Security Information and Event Management: This unit aims to develop your skills and knowledge of the important security event and incident management methods, techniques, solutions and systems. You will cover听aspects of the current and emerging threat landscape, incident handling and operations of Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and the importance of information sharing for incident management.
• Accessibility & Assistive Technologies: This unit is an introduction to the concepts of accessibility and assistive technology and explores how technology can be used to support people with temporary, situational or lifelong disabilities by helping to overcome challenges to their self-care, educational, vocational and recreational independence.
