Enterprise and IT Security

Overview

The program's curriculum focuses on current and practice-oriented contents. Due to strong dynamics of the IT sector and the resulting short lifespan of knowledge in this field, the curriculum is continuously adjusted. In addition to the lectures, labs, seminars and examinations, students are involved in related research projects.
