An Information Security Curriculum in Finland

Abstract

Abstract:For several years there has been a de facto curriculum of information security at Helsinki University of Technology. Officially this curriculum has been a part of the telecommunication software major, but now there is a need for an own major for information security. One version of this major is a master's program for international students. This program already exists and some of our courses have to be developed to fit its needs. Another international aspect is the ERASMUS program [katsikas] we are joining. During this process we have designed new curricula consisting of a major and a minor for information security. The major is intended for developers (computer professionals) and the minor for administrators.
