Programme

Academic program
The Master SCCI is a one-year (M2) specialization program with two elective tracks, one
directed towards research (track M2R), the other towards industries (track M2P). To enter the
program, students are selected after successful completion of: either the MoSIG first year
program (M1) that includes en elective module in Introduction to
Cryptology and Security or alternatively an equivalent M1 program.

The academic program proposes common core courses in Security and Cryptology and optional
courses in the following fields:
- Advanced Engineering in Information Systems
- Cryptology : Advanced Protocols and Attacks
- Embedded Circuit Synthesis and Crypto-processors.

The programme provides students with core skills in wide aspects of the security of information
systems and specialised skills in the chosen specialisation. Students get a unique chance to study
under high-level Cybersecurity practitioners from Estonian universities, industry, law
enforcement, CERT and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.

Main specialisations

Cyber Security; Digital Forensics; Cryptography

The programme is taught jointly by the two largest public universities in Estonia. The Cyber
Security and Digital Forensics studies are concentrated in Tallinn, while the specialisation in
Cryptography is concentrated in Tartu. Upon successful completion of the programme students
will receive a joint degree signed by both universities - TalTech and University of Tartu.

Specialisation in Cyber Security

The public focus on the field of cyber security is growing around the world. Estonia is well
known for its eagerness to put innovative IT solutions into everyday use. It is a pioneer in
electronic identities and electronic voting and enthusiastically adopts mobile technology, online
banking and electronic government services. However, with so many e-solutions and such
extensive use of the internet, attention also needs to be turned to the security issue.

 By choosing electable courses, it is possible to specialise in one of the following aspects

or a suitable mix of those:
 o Organisational aspects - law, organization, psychology, standards, etc.
o Technological aspects - networking, attack/defence technology, cryptography.

Specialisation in Digital Forensics

Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of
material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. The area is becoming
critical for both data security and law enforcement and is involved in a complicated interplay
between surveillance and counter-surveillance issues.

Specialisation in Cryptography

Cryptography is vital for the functioning of the modern interconnected world, since it is required
to ensure privacy, data integrity, etc. Cryptography experts are required to develop new ways of
keeping data secure, as well as making sure that the existing solutions are still strong enough.

The 2 year (120 ECTS) curriculum comprises the following modules:

- General studies (6 ECTS)

- Core studies (24 ECTS)
- Special studies (60 ECTS)
Specialisation in one of below three directions
I Cyber Security
- Cyber Security Technology(6)
- Special Studies in Cyber Security(54)
II Digital Forensics
- Cyber Security Technology(6)
- Special Studies in Digital Forensics(54)
III Cryptography
- Cyber Security Technology(6)
- Special Studies in Cryptography(54)
- Free Choice Courses (6 ECTS)
- Graduation Thesis (24 ECTS)

Future career

The programme conveys the specialist knowledge and professional skills needed on a career path
leading to high-end technical roles (e.g. security analyst, architect or research engineer; security
incident handler or a digital forensic expert in a law enforcement agency) or managerial roles
(e.g. project/team leader or technology officer).
The studies are also an excellent addition to a previous background in legal studies or law
enforcement, leading to unique career opportunities. Great networking possibilities and
collaboration with leading specialists in the field will present graduates with a range of career
opportunities. The studies can also be continued at doctoral level. The direct follow-up
curriculum at TalTech is Information and Communication Technology (IAQD) PhD progarmme.
