The program is intended to provide students with up-to-date knowledge and skills in cybersecurity and privacy. It gives hands-on experience in cyber threat prevention and detection tactics, as well as reacting to and recovering from cyber-attacks. Program graduates will be employable by corporations and governments with important information assets that need to be protected from increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks.

A preparatory trimester is added if the applicant student has a bachelor’s degree in a specialization related to neither computer science and engineering nor information technology and systems. Therefore, the student’s acceptance into the program is conditional on studying and passing all the courses specified in the preparatory trimester to be able to register in the first trimester of the program. Note that if preparatory trimester is counted for the applicant, the student is informed in the acceptance notice.
