Master’s Degree in Cyber Security by EIT Digital

EIT Digital Master School and SPECTRO offer two-year certified and customizable double degree programme in Cyber Security allowing to study at two top-tier universities in different European countries. The double degrees blend technical expertise with entrepreneurial experience and mindset.

Navigating this landscape requires not only a deep understanding of the technology but also the ability to confidently evaluate autonomous processes and maximize the trade-off between business impact and resource expenditure.

Student profile

Autonomous systems and Intelligent Robots Master’s programme is open to applicants with either a Bachelor of Science degree or who are in their final year of study in:

• Electrical engineering/electronics
• Computer engineering
• Computer science
• Information technology
• Industrial engineering

Applicants should have a basic understanding of programming, data structures and algorithms, and mathematics, including calculus, algebra, and statistics. A background in basic mechanics and systems theory is also beneficial. Please note that a strong grasp of C++ is required for some of the programme’s mandatory courses.

In some circumstances, relevant work experience may compensate for a lack of relevant degree. If you have such work experience, make sure to include it in your letter of motivation. 

Career prospects

The interdisciplinary master's programme is designed to approach autonomous systems from both a computer science and an electronic engineering perspective. We use a combination of face-to-face workshops, group activities, and hands-on exercises to cover everything from the basics of autonomous systems to such specific skills as:

• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Machine learning
• Artificial intelligence
• Robotics
• Automation and control
• Embedded systems
• System communication
• Autonomous software systems

To enhance your learning, the programme includes an opportunity to get real-world experience by working in a business operating in the autonomous vehicle, intelligent robotics, industrial IoT, or autonomous software system fields. During your internship, you will apply your new skills and knowledge towards solving problems and creating new products and services.

About SPECTRO

This Master's programme is developed within the EU funded project Specialized Education Programmes in Cybersecurity and Robotics (SPECTRO). This initiative is set to develop two dual-degree master’s programmes and standalone learning modules in two key digital fields: Cybersecurity (this one) and Robotics. These programmes, including a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, will be delivered by a consortium of 12 universities from 7 countries, 2 innovative SMEs, a leading Information Systems research center, and EIT Digital, a pan-European expert in digital skill.
