Computer Science: Computer Systems Security
Technology has become ubiquitous in our global, connected society. Globally distributed information processing services have taken centre stage, with the internet connecting a variety of information processing devices, ranging from embedded sensors to data centres operated by world-leading companies.
As a Computer Science Master’s student in Amsterdam, you’ll benefit from the expertise, networks and research projects at both VU Amsterdam and the UvA, as well as affiliated research institutes. Courses are taught at locations of both universities, and you’ll receive a joint degree certificate on graduation.

In this track, you’ll focus on system and security issues related to operating systems, hardware and applications – topics like hacking, malware, reverse engineering and vulnerabilities. On graduating from the programme, you’ll have knowledge of security issues in system-level software, including weaknesses and defences; static and dynamic analysis techniques for software (benign and malicious); modern scalable computer and network architecture; and secure software development for modern, highly parallel computer systems. The emphasis on system-related issues is what sets this track apart from other Master’s programmes on security, which tend to focus on formal methods or the mathematics behind cryptography.
This track is part of the joint Master’s in Computer Science, in which you’ll be taught by leading researchers in the field of computer security. Plus, many of the courses are very hands-on, meaning you’ll get practical experience in security as well.

Having completed the Master’s in Computer Science, you’ll understand and speak the language of computers.
Depending on which track you follow, you’ll have expert knowledge in big data engineering, computer systems security, computing and concurrency, Internet and web technologies, parallel computing systems, or software engineering and green IT. You’ll also be able to translate that knowledge creatively, into something that other project team members will understand.
