Knowledge is the key to security.
Discover the foundations and the latest security challenges with us.

We are proud to offer you a new Major in Information Security, which you can take as part of the redesigned Master’s Programs in Computer Science (CS), Information and Computer Engineering (ICE) and Software Engineering and Management (SEM). There are some attractive scholarships for foreign students.

Guide for Master-Level Courses in Information Security

We also teach security as part of the CS&BME bachelor’s degree programmes Computer Science (CS), Information and Computer Engineering (ICE), and Software Engineering and Management (SEM).

Bachelor

In our bachelor-level courses, we teach the foundations of information security and computing.

Our courses span the entire stack of secure computing: from the mathematical foundations of logic and the most basic building blocks of computers, across processor architecture and the internal structure of operating systems and networks, to cryptographic algorithms and secure programming practices.
Discover the theory that enables secure communication, learn how to build a secure computer system from bottom up, and hone your development and teamworking skills in the course practicals!

If our courses sparked your interest in security, join us for your bachelor’s thesis and work with us on your individual project!

Topics for Bachelor’s thesis, Bachelor project, and ISW

Master

All our master-level courses are part of the Information Security catalog.

The courses reflect our four core areas of research and will lead you from the foundations to cutting-edge research and impactful applications.
Find out why crypto works and how it’s applied to protect your digital identity, how to develop secure systems (and maybe even prove that the implementation is correct), and how attackers try to break all of these.

Interested in an exciting master’s project or thesis in information security? You’ll work with our research teams to solve challenges arising in our security research – maybe your results will even lead to a new scientific publication!
