Security and Cloud Computing (SECCLO) (Erasmus Mundus) Aalto University

Overview

The Security and Cloud Computing (SECCLO) (Erasmus Mundus) programme from Aalto University focuses on two specific aspects of modern computing systems, cloud computing and information security. With cloud computing we mean highly distributed and scalable computation and data storage in data centers, as well as physically accessible devices. Information security encompasses the protection of computation, communication, and data from unauthorized access.

During the SECCLO studies, the students will gain both practical engineering knowledge and theoretical insights into

• secure systems engineering,
• distributed application development,
• network and service architectures, and
• cloud and mobile platforms.

The programme aims to educate highly professional engineers to meet both the immediate hiring requirements and the long-term needs of the European ICT industry.

Career opportunities

There is a shortage of professionals in Europe and worldwide who are able to develop products and services for the modern cloud and mobile computing platforms and to do this in a secure way. SECCLO educates professional R&D engineers to meet this demand.

The SECCLO graduates are trained for international industrial R&D jobs, security engineering and consulting, various expert roles, and doctoral studies. During the obligatory summer internship, SECCLO students work in a real R&D environment or expert organization as members of a project team. Our current industry and research partners include, e.g.:

• F-Secure Corporation, Finland
• Ericsson, Finland
• KONE Corporation, Finland
• Eficode, Finland
• Nokia Bell Labs, France/Finland
• Intel Labs Europe, Germany
• BMW Group, Germany
• SAP Labs, France
