Master in Cybersecurity and Assurance (CYBERSURE) - ERASMUS MUNDUS

EURECOM is part of a high-profile ERASMUS MUNDUS Joint Master’s programme — CYBERSURE.

CYBERSURE (Master’s Programme in Cybersecurity and Assurance) is a two-year, 120 ECTS engineering programme that educates the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. It combines practical engineering skills with a research-based curriculum in cybersecurity, privacy, cryptography, risk management and assurance.

The programme gives students a broad understanding of how to secure, assure and innovate digital systems — from secure systems engineering and network security to cloud, data and mobile platforms.

The 120 ECTS credits are organised as follows:

  • Year 1 at the entry university NTNU (Norway): mandatory and elective courses (57.5 ECTS)
  • Joint summer school (2.5 ECTS)
  • Year 2 specialisation at an exit university, including EURECOM (30 ECTS)
  • Master’s thesis (30 ECTS), co-supervised by the exit university and NTNU

An internship in an R&D environment or a university research group is part of the pathway. The programme is taught in English.

The programme leads to two national Master of Science degrees (double degree) from the universities where the student has completed his/her studies (NTNU + EURECOM-IMT for students who specialise at EURECOM).

Consortium partners: NTNU (Norway, coordinator), Aalto (Finland), KTH (Sweden), DTU (Denmark), University of Tartu (Estonia), EURECOM (France) and TU Graz (Austria).

2nd year Specialisation in Big Data security at EURECOM 

EURECOM's specialization aims at providing a solid knowledge of security in cloud computing and networking, combined with practical design and management skills.

Students learn how to identify threats, vulnerabilities and privacy problems in networks and cloud systems, including the Internet of Things. They learn to integrate security solutions into a cloud computing platform and explore methods for holding cloud stakeholders accountable for the privacy and confidentiality of data in cloud systems.

The curriculum has a hands-on approach that combines laboratory work with classroom education, makes use of high-profile industry speakers to introduce the latest technologies, and includes a supervised semester-long team project on a topic of industrial relevance. One focus area is communication and organisational skills together with project planning and implementation competences. A mandatory management course fosters an entrepreneurial mindset, and the elective courses enable students to further explore data science or networking.
