Overview

The programme provides students with core skills in wide aspects of the security of information systems and specialised skills in the chosen specialisation. Students get a unique chance to study under high-level Cybersecurity practitioners from Estonian universities, industry, law enforcement, CERT and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.

Struktuur

The programme is taught jointly by the two largest public universities in Estonia – TalTech and the University of Tartu. The Cyber Security and Digital Forensics studies are concentrated in Tallinn, while the specialisation in Cryptography is concentrated in Tartu, a city in South Estonia. Note that at least 24ECTS worth of subjects must be taken in both universities. Upon successful completion of the programme students will receive a joint degree signed by both universities.
