Why this master's degree?
Cybersecurity is one of the most important challenges of the digital age. The development of digitization, new ways of working remotely and collaboratively, and the creation of new business models have meant that there have been a record number of cyberattacks on a global scale in recent times. As a result, cybersecurity has become a priority for any organization.

In this context, the rise in the number of threats and the large number of protection and detection devices to be implemented have led to an exponential increase in the demand for experts in cybersecurity design and management.

The UPC School is organizing the Master's Degree in Cybersecurity Management in order to provide training for these professionals. Students taking the Master's degree will have the opportunity to learn the methodologies and techniques necessary for managing, planning, designing and implementing the procedures necessary to optimize the security of various assets, taking the latest threats that have recently appeared into account.

The master has an outstanding teaching team, which contains an excellent combination of practical professional experience and innovation in the field of technology cybersecurity, from the technical, legal and police point of view. We will also have contributions from internationally recognized speakers, who will offer us their vision of the sector in the present and future.
