- Description/content
- Shaping Secure Systems for a Connected World
The English-taught Master's programme in Sociotechnical Cybersecurity at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI, Technical University of Applied Sciences) prepares you specifically for a career in one of the most important future fields of our time: the protection of complex technical systems from attacks.
Interdisciplinary. International. Impact-oriented.
Cybersecurity has long been more than just technology – it affects people, organisations, and entire societies. Our programme combines technical excellence with a solid understanding of social science. You will learn how to prevent attacks on systems, how to develop security architectures, and how human behaviour, management structures, and cultural factors influence security.
Technical depth meets industry focus
Unlike general cybersecurity programmes, this Master's programme provides domain-specific security expertise in the three key sectors of mobility, industry, and healthcare.
For the cybersecurity of tomorrow
We train you today for the cybersecurity of tomorrow. You will explore technologies that will shape the future – such as post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and AI-based security mechanisms. Additionally, you will acquire scientific and analytical skills applicable to both research and industry.
Personal. Practical. Future-proof.
We actively encourage your involvement in the cybersecurity community through international projects, participation in competitions, and practical research. Thanks to small groups and individual support, you will develop into a professional who understands technology, people, and organisations equally – and can thus shape cybersecurity holistically.
Learning in a high-tech environment
You will study in one of Germany's leading mobility and technology regions in direct contact with partners such as Audi, Airbus, MBDA, and numerous innovative start-ups. THI offers an ideal learning environment with modern laboratories and innovative teaching methods.
- Current information
- Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt does not cooperate with recruitment agencies. Applicants will have to apply on their own. Apart from the uni-assist fee, there is no application fee.
