The security and reliability of modern IT systems already determine the economic success of companies or entire national economies. Every individual is also personally affected if passwords or even entire digital identities are misused. The effects of cyber attacks and data leaks can be far-reaching and undermine the trustworthiness of companies and organizations.
We provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to analyse and solve complex IT security problems. In this way, we prepare you to help shape the future of our digital society as an IT security expert and computer scientist.
As digitalization progresses, the security and reliability of these systems is becoming increasingly important. Graduates of the IT security degree program are universally applicable in software development and also have analytical and conceptual skills in IT security. They are proficient in techniques such as cryptography, forensics and software and network security, which makes them highly sought-after on the current job market. There are opportunities in areas such as penetration testing, IT security analysis, IT forensics and IT consulting.
Studying at the University of Lübeck is a very personal course of study. Due to the small size of the university, there is a very close relationship between the staff of the institutes and the students. Students are often already involved in the institutes' research through projects and student jobs.
In contrast to many other universities, all rooms relevant to IT security studies are located on the university campus and are not spread across the city. The short distances and shared facilities such as the canteen and university library make it easier to exchange ideas with students from other disciplines.
Lübeck itself offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. You can get from the university campus to the Baltic Sea beach in Travemünde in 30 minutes.
A taster day is offered on site every year in May/June. The exact date and registration will be announced/linked in good time on the IT security page. We are also represented at numerous orientation fairs.
If you have any further questions, we will be happy to help you personally.
