Become a Professional in the Field of Information Security
Information security has become a key priority/requirement in recent years! Our modern, complex, globally networked systems represent a major challenge for the security of the data and systems of companies, organizations and public institutions. In addition to the previous challenges, data protection regulations, but also the convergence of IT and OT on the one hand, and security and safety on the other, provide additional necessary attention.
Program
In order to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information infrastructures, we need a holistic approach and thus the analysis, conception and implementation of organizational, technical and social measures. The IT security study program was designed with these aspects in mind – the training spectrum ranges from information security management to the design of secure systems and processes, practical implementation of measures and technical analysis of security vulnerabilities.
Three Possible Career Paths:
The program is divided into a basic study program with courses that must be attended by all students and three career paths. The courses in the career paths are mostly topics that were covered theoretically in the basic studies and are now continued in a more in-depth and practice-oriented manner.
Security Consultant
- ITIL: the best-known framework for IT security management
- Professional crisis management & communication
- Basics of computer forensics
- Security Audit: Example Scenarios and Best Practice
Security Manager
- Risk analysis from the perspective of safety specialists
- Risk management in practice
- Identity Management
- Cloud Security
- Information Security Operations Center (SOC/SIEM)
Technical Security Expert
- White Hat – Offensive Security
- Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis
- Security architectures with firewall techniques: Next Generation Firewalls
- Web Application Security
Due to the technical depth of detail (in-depth analysis of applications and implementation of technical exploits like buffer overflows) there are participation restrictions for this career path!

Career Prospects
Requirements
Master’s degree programs build on a completed bachelor’s degree program and allow students to specialize or focus on topics in more detail or to expand their existing expertise.
You must meet subject-matter requirements to be admitted to the IT Security master’s degree program. Prerequisites include a bachelor’s degree from a UAS in a relevant subject matter or an equivalent degree from a recognized post-secondary educational institution (at least 180 ECTS credits) in Austria or another country.
If basic equivalence has been established except for a few missing prerequisites, the program director can require students to take exams to establish full equivalence. These exams are taken during the master’s program.
