Applied IT Security

["The distance learning programme in "Applied IT Security" (MSc) is being offered in cooperation with the Faculty of Computer Science of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the isits AG International School of IT Security. It was jointly developed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, the renowned Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security (HGI) of the Ruhr-Universität-Bochum and the isits AG.The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of the strongest universities in terms of research, and with 43,000 students, is one of the ten largest universities in Germany. It is characterised by its branched, interdisciplinary structure. As a comprehensive university, it fulfils the mission of maintaining a broadly differentiated teaching and research potential in order to uncover research and development perspectives. This is particularly important for the dynamic and fast-moving field of IT security.The Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security (HGI) is the research department of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and one of the largest and most renowned university IT security research institutions in Europe. Over 200 academics belong to the institute. With approximately 1,000 students, the HGI is one of the largest IT security educational institutes in Europe.The isits AG International School of IT Security was founded in 2001 as a central part of eurobits e.V., and it is one of the leading providers of further education and conferences in the field of IT and information security today. With a broad range of services, it is internationally active for companies, organisations, and private individuals.With our six-semester Master's programme in “Applied IT Security”, you will lay a solid and high-quality foundation for success in the growing field of IT security and information security.The remote learning programme provides a broad range of knowledge in the area of IT security. It builds a foundation with subjects such as cryptography, discrete mathematics, network security, system security and software engineering, and offers a broad scope of elective subjects to choose from. Throughout the programme, engineering principles are applied to real problems usually taken from consultations with the developing industry aiming to strengthen developing and problem-solving skills.https://www.is-its.org/fernstudiengang-it-sicherheit-master-of-science-in-applied-it-securityhttps://studyitsecurity.is-its.org/"]
