Master’s Degree in Cyber Security (CSES) - EIT Digital

Updatedago

In the EIT Digital Cyber Security Master, learners study in two different European countries: one year at an Entry university and one year at an Exit university.

In the first year, learners build a strong foundation in their technical field and gain insight into business and management. In the second year, skills are put into practice through a design project that combines technology with entrepreneurship. EIT Digital's ecosystem connects learners with industry leaders, startups, and research institutions across Europe.

Modular structure

The 2-year Master’s programme is designed with a modular structure. In your first year, you will cover the Cyber Security common core while also being introduced to business and management. During the second semester, you will work on a design project combined with business development exercises, helping you see how technology can be transformed into a successful business. In your second year, you will deepen your expertise by choosing one of six different Cyber Security specialisations offered across six countries, each with unique tailored courses.
