A number of information security incidents, as well as the financial losses relating to such incidents, is increasing. Thus it is not surprising that Information security management, aimed at safeguarding an organisation's information assets, has become a key strategic issue for many organisations.

Safeguarding an organisation's information assets in today's complex environments is difficult and requires more than solely technical skills. In order to facilitate a broad understanding of the field, our program includes courses considering organizational, social and technical aspects of information security.

During the first year, the students gain a broad understanding of information security and develop advanced knowledge and skills within information security management. The second year aims to develop advanced knowledge and skills in research and investigation. The students learn how to develop and communicate knowledge within the field of study as well as increase their degree of reflection on research and practice within the field. The education is based on case-based learning and flipped classroom pedagogic. These pedagogic methods encourage students to active learning and develop their problem-solving skills that are necessary to address the complexity of information security management in organisations. By working with cases developed in collaboration with our industry partners, the students gain a deeper understanding and practical field experience.... [-]

The international Master’s programme in robotics and intelligent systems is an exciting two-year programme for students with a Bachelor’s degree in engineering. The programme is offered by the nationally and internationally renowned Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) at Örebro University.

Within the programme, students learn (among other things) about the methods used by autonomous vehicles to know where they are, how the navigation software on your phone finds the best route, and the sensors that robots and intelligent systems use to perceive the world, as well as machine learning methods that can make computers make difficult choices or learn to recognise the patterns around them. The programme offers two levels of graduation: a 60-credit Master of Science degree in Computer Science (one year), providing in-depth knowledge of advanced research topics and software engineering competencies which can be readily applied to the job market; or a 120-credit Master of Science degree (two years), for those who wish to gain a higher degree of autonomy in problem solving and innovative thinking, possibly pursuing a career in research and development or academia....

Master of Chemistry in Environmental Forensics offers an exciting education using active learning and providing practical experience in close cooperation with the industry and environmental researchers.

Environmental forensics is the systematic and scientific evaluation using various disciplines for the purpose of developing defensible scientific and legal conclusions regarding the source, age, and history of chemical pollutants released into the environment. You, together with industry and leading researchers, have the opportunity to develop the knowledge needed for you to contribute to a future resilient society.

The education offers insight in several disciplines including analytical and environmental analysis in order to characterize the source and amount of chemical pollutants in the environment as well as describing their history. In order to facilitate a broad understanding of the specialties involved in Environmental Forensics, the curriculum will include a wide-range of multidisciplinary expertise within natural sciences such as environmental science, isotope chemistry, environmental sampling, human health, advanced statistics, and transportation modeling. To ensure that the students gain practical field experience, real-life cases are provided in collaboration with the industry. The education uses problem-based learning (PBL) to encourage active learning and to develop problem-solving abilities. These skills will be used to identify sources and history of environmental pollution.... [-]
