About this programme
Cybersecurity threats have become prevalent in our daily lives. Vulnerabilities in computer systems are exploited to spy on users and even sabotage the most security-critical infrastructure (e.g. energy and water supplies, healthcare systems, or transport networks). The abundance of readily available, large-scale, privacy-sensitive datasets poses unprecedented risks to user privacy. Consequently, there is an almost unlimited demand for cybersecurity professionals, both from the academic sector and from industry. This is why Saarland University has teamed up with the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security to offer a unique BSc course in cybersecurity that teaches the essentials from the very start. CISPA is the world's highest ranking research institute for cybersecurity, which attests to its high scientific standards and the broad range of topics investigated in CISPA's cutting-edge research. Best of all, courses in this programme are taught entirely in English, which makes them accessible to international students. The standard period of study for the Bachelor of Science degree is six semesters. At the beginning of the programme, the fundamentals of both regular computer science and cybersecurity are taught. Following this, there are various elective options with topics that are inspired by research at CISPA. In addition to these in-depth cybersecurity and computer science courses, there are practical elements, such as the cybersecurity lab and supplementary electiv
