====== The Master Programme ======                

Within any organisation, where you work as a Security and Network Engineer, you will be responsible for:

  * Designing system configurations
  * Designing and executing procedures for daily management and during calamities
  * Keeping up to date with technical innovations and utilising the possibilities they represent
  * Planning and verifying steps in the evolution of managed systems and networks
  * Providing adequate and up to date security

These subjects will be treated thoroughly in the SNE master programme.

====== Full-time and Part-time ======

The curriculum has been set up to be a full-time programme. It is also
possible to enroll as a part-time student. This allows a student to
graduate in two years instead of one, requiring the student to be present
for half the amount of time, meaning two full days per week. Since there
are many colloquia the part-time student will have to be present regularly
for a third, extra day.  The days of the week on which classes will be
given can vary between courses, meaning the part-time student will have
to be able to make flexible arrangements with his or her employer. Also
there are research projects in the months of January and June where
the part-time student is required to be present full-time. Of course
the part-time student will only have to do one of the research projects
per year, so either in January or June his or her attention can be fully
assigned to the employer.

====== The SNE curriculum ======

The curriculum of 60 ECTS encompasses 10 courses in total.\\
There are 8 regular courses, each taking 8 weeks half-time and 2 research projects,
each taking 4 weeks full-time.
