The Master’s Programme in Computer Systems and Cybersecurity (offered as Computing Systems - Cybersecurity) at Chalmers University of Technology is an advanced postgraduate degree designed to provide broad and deep expertise in software security, system architecture, and network defense. Taught entirely in English on Campus Johanneberg in Gothenburg, this programme awards a Master of Science (120 ECTS) with a major in Computer Science and Engineering. The curriculum covers a full-stack, systems-based approach to security—from hardware and low-level software up to middleware, cloud systems, and user operations. Coursework includes cryptographic techniques, network security, ethical hacking, secure software design, language-based security, distributed computing, and dependable real-time systems. Students combine theoretical computer science principles with hands-on labs and penetration testing. The degree culminates in the second year with an independent Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS), conducted within Chalmers' computer systems and security research groups or directly in partnership with global technology corporations.
