About the programme
The Master of Science in IT Security at the University of Lübeck lasts four semesters and can start in the winter or summer semester. It builds the knowledge and skills to analyse and solve complex IT security problems, preparing you to help shape the digital society as an IT security expert and computer scientist. Close cooperation with research clusters and companies gives access to current research and practical examples. The programme combines theory and practice: modules such as Cybersecurity teach you to understand how attackers think, identify vulnerabilities and develop countermeasures, and other modules cover fault-tolerant and resilient systems. A Capture The Flag team lets you test your skills in realistic competitions, and exchanges in the USA or through Erasmus are possible. The Institute for IT Security offers thesis topics from cryptography to hardware development. You study in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Lübeck.
