Selecting courses
The study program does not have any mandatory courses. You can select elective courses according to your interests. To ease the choice of courses we have compiled typical combinations into specializations. You can find the four specializations and the according courses here. Very important: these course combinations are just recommendations; you can also choose your own individual curriculum. However, a minimum of 30 credit point worth courses must be selected from the "core courses" list of the information security program. You can select further courses from the list of all informatics courses.
The most urgent issue is selecting courses for the autumn semester.
