Cybersecurity Management University of Agder

Overview

Digitalisation of organisations and societies gives rise to significant new and evermore complex cybersecurity challenges and opportunities. For organisations, it is important to find a balance between cybersecurity and innovation to achieve business goals and remain competitive in the market.

While technology plays a crucial role in securing the assets of businesses, technology alone cannot solve today's cybersecurity challenges. Instead, cybersecurity must be approached holistically to address the complexity in a responsible and ethical manner.

Cybersecurity is built on the management and governance of people, processes, and technology, as well as on a strong cybersecurity culture. It requires versatile security experts who know how to navigate within the legal and ethical frameworks.

The University of Agder offers a unique and sought-after study programme specialising in cybersecurity management. The programme equips students with practical and theoretical knowledge, and methodological skills to plan, implement and manage cybersecurity in private and public organisations.

The study is a campus-based full-time program that requires attendance in educational activities. International students are admitted to this study programme.
