Welcome to Security Lancaster
Security Lancaster is one of the largest interdisciplinary security research institutes in the UK with 130 staff from 15 academic departments. It is home to the ESRC UK national hub for social science research on security threats (CREST) and the EPSRC Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Node in Security (TAS-S).
As a University Institute, Security Lancaster draws on excellence from across the University to deliver world-class research and education that challenges the way individuals, organisations, and societies secure and protect themselves. We deliver several Master's and professional development programmes (e.g., MSc in Cyber Security), and foster a collegiate and innovative research environment through year-round activities.
The institute's cross-disciplinary socio-technical research is actively complemented by policy engagement and education to deliver innovative solutions to today’s complex security challenges that affect people and societies.
Security Lancaster cultivates innovation and entrepreneurship by facilitating the exchange of ideas and information through the sharing of facilities, the creation of networks of like-minded individuals, and the development of a ‘social infrastructure’. We bring together people from government, business, academia and the protection industries to create new perspectives on security, innovation and responsible entrepreneurship in a rapidly changing world.
