The Master in International Cybersecurity and Cyberintelligence is a full-time Master’s programme jointly developed and taught in English. The programme offers specialised academic education in Cybersecurity, Cyberintelligence and International Relations and Law for Cybersecurity. It is jointly carried out by four European Universities: Granada (Spain), Minho (Portugal), Padua (Italy) and Vilnius (Lithuania), through the use of physical mobility around these four universities, and students attending virtual, blended and local courses.
At the end of their studies, students will be able to integrate not only in any field of the cyber security industry but especially in cyber intelligence teams working at an international level.
The master is developed within ARQUS, a University Alliance of nine European universities (Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon 1, Minho, Padua, Vilnius, Maynooth and Wroclaw), framed within the European Universities Initiative. This brings a lot of opportunities for the participants, in the form of grants, scholarships, activities, and access to resources of the Alliance.
Finally, the master is also supported by the European Project CYBERACTIONING (cyberactioning.eu). This additional funding brings the programme to reach the excellence from a quality point of view, with the participation of industry and relevant research centres in the field of cybersecurity.
