Master In Next-Generation Computing
Master In Next-Generation Computing
The Master of Science in Next-Generation Computing is a master's program that includes three tracks: Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods for Cybersecurity; Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare; and Quantum Technology. This exciting new program will be taught by highly qualified and experienced professors from top-ranked universities.
Track 1: Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods for Cybersecurity
The track of this program in Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods for Cybersecurity is distinguished from other classic graduate programmes in the field of cybersecurity as it offers an innovative academic approach that combines the advanced techniques of artificial intelligence and formal methods. Thus, it progresses into the next level of cybersecurity which is required to face the increasing size and sophistication of cyberattacks. Indeed, artificial intelligence helps security operations analysts to be proactive against threats. Furthermore, formal methods have become well established as powerful techniques to demonstrate the absence of security vulnerability allowing for the construction of highly secured protocols and critical systems.
