Institute for Security Science and Technology

Scientific research, education, and innovation for a secure and resilient world

Security is often only viewed through the narrow lens of conflict and war. Our mission at the Institute for Security Science and Technology is to challenge that perception and demonstrate the breadth and depth of a topic that touches everyone in society, wherever they are in the world.

We have established an Innovation Ecosystem dedicated to exploring the next generation of solutions for security and defence problems at Imperial’s White City Campus. Working with corporate and government partners, we drive new research projects and technology transfer in security and defence.

Are you a STEM graduate with an interest in security or a security professional? Through lectures, workshops, labs and project work, our Master’s programme covers the science, technology, human activity, policy and implementation of security and resilience.

ISST offer the Security and Resilience Research PhD programme in conjunction with Imperial College London's Civil and Environmental Engineering department and external government and industry partners. The programme is available full-time and part-time.

Watch the ISST's Vincent Briscoe security lecture 2024, delivered by Ambassador Yvette Stevens, former permanent representative to the UN from Sierra Leone.
