About the Graduate School in Cybersecurity

To strengthen its strategic research activities, the Department of Information Technology has established a Graduate School in Cybersecurity that brings together the domain expertise and strengthens collaboration on cybersecurity-related research and education.

The school gathers a cohort of existing and forthcoming PhD students and their supervisors to create an environment where experts in cybersecurity and related areas work together, through a core PhD-level curriculum of joint courses and research activities. The school is also envisioned to contribute to existing cybersecurity-related initiatives within the Department and the Faculty, such as undergraduate courses, activities within the Cybersecurity Arena, and the faculty-wide strength area of Systems and Cyber Security. Regular seminars are planned with presentations from the school’s participants and by invited speakers. Active participation in the school's activities by all PhD students and their supervisors is a prerequisite.
