Depending on the speciality chosen, the goal of the program is to give broad knowledge and practical skills in cyber security or digital forensics. Students can specialise in a technical, theoretical or organisational track or in the combination of those. There are three possibilities for specializing:
      1) Cyber Security
      2) Digital Forensics
      3) Cryptography

The Cyber Security programme is a joint program with University of Tartu.
