Master Program in Cybersecurity

Presentation and objectives

The master program in Cybersecurity aims at teaching students knowledge and solid skills in advanced specification, design, development, implementation and maintenance of secure systems.

First and foremost, students will apply methods and techniques to investigate the vulnerabilities of a given system and its solutions such as scanning techniques and penetration testing, from both theoretical and practical point of view.
As a result, we focus on systems security management and audit. A didactic methodology is applied, based on classes, specialized seminars, conferences, case studies, practical sessions in computer labs, tutorials, projects, and self-learning. Students should participate to some international challenge around at least one of the cyber security domains (Systems, Networks, Telecommunication, Software, Web, and Hardware).

Last but not least, French language classes are part of the program for all international students. As required by the French Commission for Engineering Titles (CTI), students seeking to obtain the Master’s Degree of Engineering must reach a B1 level of French by the end of their programme.
