Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a program closely related to computer sciences.
In particular, a bachelor's degree in computer science, cyber security, or mathematics with subsidiary computer science qualifies. Adequate content of the degree is available if the theoretical, practical, applied, and technical computer science and mathematics education is comparable to the bachelor's degree course in computer science at BTU.
The Examination Board of Cyber Security at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg will decide whether an applicant’s degree is sufficient. If the board is unsure about the equivalence, they may decide that a student must complete additional preliminary modules.
To successfully follow the academic program, it is required to have a solid background in theoretical computer science, mathematics (including discrete mathematics and number theory, analysis, and linear algebra), foundations of operating systems, computer networking as well as programming.
