Cybersecurity is a topic that concerns everyone. People manage their health and banking data via the Internet, critical infrastructures such as the energy supply are controlled by computer systems, and administrations at all levels are networked with each other.

To accommodate this, Saarland University is launching “Cybersecurity”, a new English-language [...]
In the 2021/2022 winter semester, Saarland University will launch two new bachelor’s degree courses that will be taught entirely in English: computer science and cybersecurity. This makes it the first state university in Germany to offer English-language bachelor’s degree courses in the field of computer science. The move boosts the international profile of Saarland University and makes it even more attractive to students from both Germany and abroad.
