A 2-year program (Msc)

Year 1 focuses on :

The fundamentals of electronic and software systems design: programming and algorithmic languages, operating systems, telecommunications, networks, systems modeling
Security-specific knowledge: cryptography, encoding, electronic security.
A project: students are tasked with designing a system, focusing on the security aspects of the project.

Year 2 includes :

Specialization courses on advanced systems modeling, the protection of industrial systems (SCADA) and network security.
Projects: A specific security aspect will be studied based on a literature review and the prototyping of a security solution. This project leads to a thesis submission and defense in English to facilitate students’ international integration.

This MSc program also offers a gateway to PhD studies.
