Erasmus Mundus Master's Programme in Security and Mobile Computing (NordSecMob)

Erasmus Mundus Master's Programme in Security and Mobile Computing (NordSecMob) provides students with profound and wide knowledge in computer science, data security and mobile computing, both in practice and in theory. The programme aims at developing the research skills of students to further studies at the PhD level, gaining international research experience in R&D environments and give an access to major international networks.  

NordSecMob is a full-time Master of Science degree Programme with duration of two years. During these two years, students will study at two of the five Nordic partner universities: Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in Finland, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the University of Tartu (UT) in Estonia. Upon graduation, the student will be awarded a double degree diploma, i.e. a diploma from each university, at which the student studies.

The programme is coordinated by TKK--Helsinki University of Technology. More details on the programme including application procedure, study structure as well as an online application form is found on the Nordsecmob Programme homepage.
