BA/BS in Cyber Security

The Bachelor's programme in Cyber Security at Technische Hochschule Mannheim teaches students how attacks work and how to defend against them. Students learn to secure networks, devices and applications, identify vulnerabilities, fix them and respond calmly when an incident occurs. Early on, the programme builds a foundation in computer science and information security before specialisation begins. A project semester lets students work in teams on realistic tasks with modern security tools, while a practice semester adds professional experience. Teaching also builds communication skills and ethical judgement, which graduates need when they work with IT departments, legal teams, production and management to keep digital systems safe. The degree is awarded as a Bachelor of Science and takes seven semesters, starting in the winter semester.
