Royal Holloway University of London adopts my book for their MSc Information Security programme

One of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities has selected the second edition of The Psychology of Information Security to be included in their flagship Information Security programme as part of their ongoing collaboration with industry professionals.

“We incorporated The Psychology of Information Security into our MSc in Information Security, where it has become part of the essential reading for the Human Aspects of Security and Privacy module. Over time, it has proven to be a valuable anchor text within the curriculum, helping to frame discussions around the human dimensions of cybersecurity in a structured and coherent way.

Students consistently appreciate the perspectives it offers, particularly its ability to bridge academic research with real-world industry practice. It not only provides a clear roadmap through a complex and wide-ranging topic, but also encourages a broad understanding of the psychological principles underpinning everyday security challenges.”

Royal Holloway University of London’s MSc in Information Security was the first of its kind in the world. It is certified by GCHQ, the UK Government Communications Headquarters, and taught by academics and industrial partners in one of the largest and most established Information Security Groups in the world.

It is a UK Academic Centre of Excellence for cyber security research, and an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in cyber security.

Researching and teaching behaviours, risk perception and decision-making in security is one of the key components of the programme and my book is one of the resources made available to students. A very proud moment!
