The Master's program in Cyber Security addresses the increasing importance of securing systems and data against cyber threats. Students will be trained in various aspects of cybersecurity, including risk management and protective measures. Graduates will be prepared for a range of high-demand careers within this vital field.
This program provides an in-depth understanding of digital security threats and the tools needed to mitigate them. Topics such as cryptography, risk management, and incident response are emphasized throughout the course.
Over four semesters, the program integrates lectures, lab work, and a final thesis project. Students also have opportunities for internships in industry settings to apply their learning.
Graduates will emerge with in-depth knowledge in cyber security frameworks, risk analysis, and protective technologies, empowering them to excel in roles designed to secure information systems.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
