Founded in 1477, Uppsala University is the oldest university in Sweden and a consistently top-ranked institution. Its department of information technology conducts research in computer security, formal verification, and secure networked systems.
The English-taught master's in computer science includes a strong computer-security strand, covering cryptography, network security, and secure software engineering. Tuition is free for EU/EEA students, with annual fees for non-EU applicants.
A short journey from Stockholm, Uppsala combines a historic academic environment with access to the wider Swedish technology and research ecosystem.
