Programme content & programme
In addition to the technical aspects of network security, the IT Security and Cyber Security (ITS) degree program also includes digital forensics, system monitoring and the development of cyber security strategies. There are three areas of expertise in the course:
- Computer Science
- IT security and
- Digital forensics
ITS specifics
There are three areas of expertise in the course: Computer Science, IT Security and Digital Forensics.
Computer Science
This is about computer networks, operating systems and secure programming. We teach you the basics of secure coding and network administration.
IT security
You will work intensively on securing networks and IT services. This includes network management and security, data protection, web security and intrusion prevention. The fundamentals of law as well as standards and norms are also included. We'll be preparing you for the real world so that you can work as an "ethical hacker" in highly professional security teams.
Digital forensics
We provide you with essential knowledge in the field of IT and malware forensics and basic knowledge of cryptology. Another subject area is AI-supported solutions in cyber security. Learn how to use AI optimally in order to detect threats more quickly and react more effectively. The challenge is to always be at the cutting edge of technology in order to combat cybercrime effectively.
What's included
Special features
ITS is a springboard into the world of cyber security with a clear focus on your personal development.
The practical orientation of the course ensures that you're not only familiar with the technical aspects of IT security, you also learn about current practical examples and social issues during your studies. A very popular and successful example of this is our "Hack2Improve" series of events. For over 10 years, we have been organising this hacking workshop for students together with various cooperation partners from the field of IT security.
