RequirementsThe eligibility criteria for application include different documents.

• A nationally-recognised bachelor’s degree (corresponding to at least 180 ECTS) or a master’s degree (corresponding to at least 240 ECTS) with a major in computer science or computer engineering. Evidence of being ranked in the top 10% of your class (corresponding to A in the ECTS grading scale) through an institutional document must be provided.
• Alternately, exceptional five-years’ professional experience minimum, corresponding to at least 180 ECTS, in cybersecurity-related activities will be accepted in order to recognise un-certificated Prior Learning (RPL) and allow for exceptional atypical profiles.

Students who have not yet completed their degree can also apply but must provide academic transcripts to date.  Offers of a place in the programme will be conditional pending receipt of the final degree result.
