Course Overview
Cybersecurity is one of the most exciting and fastest growing areas of the ICT industry. It is a domain of enormous economic and societal importance, as it is aimed to protect citizens, businesses, and organisations against increasingly complex, damaging, and sophisticated attacks.
This increasing complexity and level of sophistication requires new means of attack detection, protection, and mitigation, which are addressed by this innovative new programme, the MSc in Computer Science (Adaptive Cybersecurity) offered by the University of Galway.
Adaptive cybersecurity incorporates state-of-the-art advanced dynamic cybersecurity techniques, algorithms, and frameworks to efficiently protect and mitigate systems and organisations against new emerging threats.
This 12-month full-time programme provides cutting edge technical training and research opportunities in the emerging area of AI-driven and data analytics-driven cybersecurity. It is a unique offering that is only matched by a small number of European and US-based Universities and builds on the vast research experience and technical skills of renowned, interdisciplinary experts based in the School of Computer Science, University of Galway.
This programme is aimed at graduates with a primary qualification and / or extensive industry experience in Computer Science or related subject area. It is not a conversion programme but expects students to already be at a very high standard regarding their Computer Science education.
