Cyber Security & Privacy (MSc)

Digitalisation is one of the megatrends of our time and is transforming more and more areas of social, economic and private life. This opens up great opportunities in a wide variety of areas such as the design and development of digital applications and technical assistance systems, automation or digitalised administrative processes.

At the same time, digitalisation brings new kinds of risks: cyber attacks, fake news, leaks of large amounts of personal data and the digital division of society. That is why we need solutions and experts for cyber security & privacy for successful and responsible digitalisation. You want to take responsibility? You want to help shape the future? You want to develop secure, privacy-enhancing and participation-oriented solutions for digital infrastructures, services and applications? Then the Master's programme Cyber Security & Privacy at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences is the right choice for you!

Information on admission and application

For a consecutive Master's programme a Bachelor's degree in the same field of study as the Master's programme must be obtained.
An accredited Bachelor's degree from a so-called Berufsakademie in Germany is equivalent to a Bachelor's degree from a higher education institution.

For degrees that were not obtained in Germany, equivalence with German Bachelor' s degrees must be established. This assessment is based on the guidelines of the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) and the Lisbon Recognition Convention, which are binding.
