Overview
This Security and Data Science programme at The University of Exeter will develop your knowledge of the security-threat landscape in light of contemporary emerging technologies, particularly in relation to the roles of data and artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, you will learn about the nature of these changes and how both malicious actors and security, defence and law enforcement organisations are adapting to the threats and opportunities posed by these technologies.
Why study MSc Security and Data Science at Exeter?
- Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the increasingly data-driven nature of all aspects of society have significantly altered the security, defence, and law enforcement domains, with this, and other emerging technologies, posing both novel opportunities and threats for governments, armed services, security services, law enforcement, and civil society.
- Understanding how these emergent technologies have aggravated social tensions, created new security vulnerabilities, impacted war fighting capabilities, and encouraged relative power shifts at both the inter-nation state and state versus sub-state actor levels involves understanding the technology-security relationships across multiple levels.
- Our aim is to maximise your employability by providing you with a unique skill set that blends in-depth domain knowledge and practical data analysis skills; a hugely employable and transferable skillset both within and beyond the security, defence, and law enforcement sectors.
- Graduates of this programme will have a dual speciality in data science skills and strong knowledge of the security-threat landscape and how security, defence, and law enforcement organisations are adapting to the novel opportunities and threats posed by emerging technologies, particularly data and AI.
- This dual speciality will prepare you for roles in organisations such as the security services, National Crimes Agency, Europol, Interpol, and specialist policing units, as well as roles in business intelligence and analytics, data journalism, social research and specialised government department roles focused on the security, defence, and law enforcement domains.
