Cybersecurity

Do you feel an opportunity in the fast-growing job market of cybersecurity experts? Do you enjoy looking at computer systems "under the skin", learning as much as possible about their nature, properties and behavior? Do you want to know the motivations of cyber-attackers and orient yourself in the legal environment of IT? Do you want to study at a prestigious school featuring its own Cyber Range and cooperating with top companies and leading institutions of the local, national and international level? Then a professional bachelor's program in Cybersecurity is the right choice. This unique multidisciplinary three-year professional Bachelor's study includes a guided professional internship and prepares students to get a job right immediately after graduation while those interested can continue in the follow-up Master's study.

Building a secure information society

Practical training

In the Cybersecurity study programme, students complete a compulsory internship of 12 weeks/480 hours within one semester. The internship is designed to familiarize students with the aspects of operating secure systems and to learn how to work in multidisciplinary teams. Information on internships can be found in the Course Catalogue, in the study materials of the course or on website.

Graduates can get a job as system or network administrator, operators of Security Operations Centers, members of CSIRTs, lower or middle management of cybersecurity, or software engineers of secure IT applications and systems, but also as training workers or assistants to cybersecurity managers.

There is evidence of interest in up to hundreds of thousands of workers capable of performing cyber security professions in Europe. Demand has increased dramatically following the adoption of the European NIS2 Directive on a high level of cybersecurity in the Union with a focus on critical infrastructure. The forthcoming Network Code on Cybersecurity will work similarly. Further demand for security experts can be expected around the regulation of artificial intelligence in the EU.
