Discover the science and cutting-edge technologies that underpin global security and resilience.
Imperial’s Security & Resilience Summer School programme has been designed and developed in line with the research and innovation activities of the Institute for Security Science and Technology (ISST).
As well as learning from experts on space, environmental security, transportation, and cyber threats, the programme will cover more ‘traditional’ security topics such as the physical environment and physical threats. The programme of lectures, workshops, tutorials and project work will equip students with a range of core skills applicable across industry, government and academic sectors.
