Highly valued by employers in the IT industry

The degree in IT Security at the RUB is comprehensive and interdisciplinary in its orientation. Especially the combination of engineering thinking and specialist knowledge in computer science and IT security is highly valued by employers in the IT industry. IT security, information technology, and computer science form the basis of the ITS Bachelor’s degree. They are complemented by electrical engineering and other basic subjects.

Thus, in the lecture “introduction to cryptography and data security” from the very start, students acquire knowledge of modern cryptographic techniques, digital signatures, and protocols. In the lecture “system security” specific cryptographic systems are dealt with and their security analysed from all angles. Additional “soft skills” are taught through non-technical subjects.

Unparalleled breadth and depth

The subjects in detail

• IT security
  subjects such as cryptography, network security and system security, enable an IT security education of unparalleled breadth and depth.
• Information technology
  subjects that teach system-theoretical methods for the analysis and design of information processing systems.
• Computer science
  subjects that concern the function and application of digital computers and above all deal with the design and programming of computers with modern methods of software engineering.
• Electrical engineering/electronics
  subjects that deal with physical and technical processes in the materials of electronics and the components and circuits produced with them.
• Basic subjects
  treatment of important knowledge from the fields of mathematics and discrete mathematics.
• Optional subjects and practical subjects
  teaching of “soft skills” such as project management, patent law, technical English, and presentation skills as an option.
