BA/BS in Information Systems and Cyber Security

This is the first and only dedicated cybersecurity degree in Lithuania, training professionals to analyse, structure, build and keep information systems safe. Subjects move from algorithm theory, computer architecture and higher mathematics through operating-system security, cryptography and legal regulations for cyber security to ethical hacking methods, digital forensics, risk management and the design of secure computer infrastructures, closing with a term paper, an internship and the final bachelor thesis. Students learn to detect hacking attempts and defend against denial-of-service attacks, recognise phishing and session-replay techniques, and test systems manually and semi-automatically for security gaps. Teaching combines lectures, seminars and workshops in small groups with brainstorming and problem-solving tasks, assessed cumulatively through tests, homework, colloquia and written examinations. Graduates can work as information systems analysts, architects, programmers, testers, database administrators or project managers, and the programme prepares students for Information Technology Infrastructure Library-type certification.
