Master’s Programme in Cybersecurity Management

Cybersecurity is an increasing challenge in society and requires increasingly versatile security experts. The master’s programme in Cybersecurity Management provides you with practical and theoretical knowledge, as well as methodological skills to implement and manage security measures in organisations both nationally and internationally. Digitalisation of organisations and societies gives rise to significant new and evermore complex cybersecurity challenges and opportunities. For organisations, it is important to find a balance between cybersecurity and innovation to achieve business goals and remain competitive in the market. While technology plays a crucial role in securing the assets of businesses, technology alone cannot solve today's cybersecurity challenges. Instead, cybersecurity must be approached holistically to address the complexity in a responsible and ethical manner. Cybersecurity is built on the management and governance of people, processes, and technology, as well as on a strong cybersecurity culture. It requires versatile security experts who know how to navigate within the legal and ethical frameworks. The University of Agder offers a unique and sought-after study programme specialising in cybersecurity management. The programme equips students with practical and theoretical knowledge, and methodological skills to plan, implement and manage cybersecurity in private and public organisations. The study is a campus-based full-time program that requires attendance in educational activities. International students are admitted to this study programme. What will you learn? You will get a solid understanding of the role that cybersecurity plays in a contemporary digitally enabled world and how cybersecurity can contribute to making a more secure and better digital future. The programme includes research-based teaching that is founded on international high-quality research and on practical examples and case studies derived from the industry. You will also have the possibility to learn about cybersecurity management through a hands-on internship. Internship is offered as an elective and requires separate admission.
