- CURRICULUM
STRUCTURE
The Double Master's Degree Curriculum is structured around two academic years in which you will take 78 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering and 60 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Cybersecurity.
The 138 total credits from the dual curriculum is broken down as follows:
- In the first year, students take subjects for the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (30 ECTS in each semester). Each semester you will take five core subjects of 6 ECTS each.
- During the second year of teaching, you will take specialty subjects in Cybersecurity (36 compulsory ECTS and 12 elective ECTS), 1 final Telecommunications Engineering subject and the 2 Master's Thesis corresponding to each master's degree.
You will have 12 validated ECTS credits, and on completion you receive two Official Master's Degree qualifications.
