DATA
SCIENCE
Data Scientist has been famously described as the sexiest job of the 21st century.
Why? On the one hand side, the field offers a diverse mix of capabilities, skills and
corresponding opportunities for specialization that never gets boring. On the other
hand, data science, i.e. the generation of insights and value from raw data is the ful-
crum of truly digital businesses across all sectors. Here, data informs not only the
optimization of existing processes. Even more importantly, it is the key enabler of
entirely new business models.
Our international bachelor programme is an ideal opportunity to acquire the rele-

CYBER
SECURITY
Cyber security is an area of expertise in great demand, as cyber-attacks can af-
fect all areas of IT. Defence measures are based on the systematic documentation
of TTPs (Tactics, Techniques and Procedures). A cyber security expert masters the
basics of modern operating systems and is also familiar with distributed applica-
tions in the cloud as well as methods of software forensics and data analysis. In
our practice-oriented distance learning programme for cyber security, you will be
trained to detect cyberthreats and demonstrate leadership potential. You will ac-
quire up-to-date knowledge in the area of cyber security and deal with the archi-
tecture, programming and maintenance of security systems. In addition to incident
response and digital forensics, you’ll learn aspects of penetration testing and re-
verse engineering in order to get to know the perspective of cyber criminals and
protect against them.

ROBOTICS
Mobility, healthcare, agriculture, and more—supply chains across the globe are be-
coming more and more dependent on robotic technology. Robots are creating fast-
er, more efficient ways to design, construct, monitor, inspect, and transport with pre-
cision and agility. They may be programmed to take on many roles, yet industries
still rely on talented professionals to design, test, and build robotic technology and
ensure safety and reliability. Robotics is a huge and rapidly growing market, with
vast career potential for those with the right expertise. Through a mix of theoreti-
cal principles and practical projects, you will acquire all the necessary skills to build
a career as a robotics specialist in this bachelor’s programme. The study contents
deliver relevant technical skills, hands-on experience, and contextual knowledge of
the latest technology and industry trends. As a result, you gain a solid foundation
in the fundamentals of robotics and expert insights into the Internet of Things (IoT)

IN CYBER SECURITY
IT is an area of expertise that is undergoing constant change, as evidenced by cur-
rent trends such as Big Data, globalisation and digitalisation. As a result, there has
been a very high and unmet demand for IT specialists for years, as many studies
show. There are bottlenecks above all in the area of cyber security. Here, current
challenges must be addressed and security approaches must be reconsidered.
In the master's degree course Computer Science in Cyber Security you will receive,
in addition to basic knowledge in algorithms and data protection, in-depth knowl-
edge in area of IT security. In addition, methodological, personal and social skills
are trained and further developed.

CYBER SECURITY
With digitalisation, cyber-attacks on software and system structures in companies
are on the rise. To ensure the confidentiality of important data, just about every
company, organisation, and government agency alike requires competent cyber se-
curity professionals. There is now a huge and unmet demand for security experts
with a keen eye to identify and defend against cyber-attacks. With the IUBH Master
in Cyber Security, a programme taught fully online, you will acquire all the skills you
need to protect data and ensure top security measures for systems used by com-
panies worldwide. You’ll become a specialist in securing infrastructures against at-
tacks, risks or malware using statistical and digital forensic methods. This degree is

IT-MANAGEMENT
Information technology pervades all areas of society: from political systems to the
economy, science and culture, to the private individual. A decline or even an end
to this development is neither foreseeable nor rationally justifiable. For this rea-
son, the demand for computer scientists and information technology specialists in
industry is constantly growing. There is a need for specialists who are able to as-
sess the application of IT in the wider context of operational and strategic options,
identify risks and counteract their consequences. Their knowledge can be seen as
an important asset of a company, as they play a decisive role in the further devel-
opment of a progressive and competitive company. In the distance learning pro-
gramme IT Management, the ability to criticise when dealing with course-specific
content is a central component.

Effective
Learning
In your studies, you not only learn theoretical knowledge but also take part in
extensive practice components included in the online programme. Due to the prac-
ticality of these components, you can implement what you have learned directly in
your company from day one. In addition, our lecturers have many years of profes-
sional experience in the business sector and teach you using examples and tech-
niques such as case studies, analysing realistic scenarios and discussing current
business events.
Targeted coachings for your academic success

Distance learning, job, and private obligations: To master this balancing act suc-
cessfully, we offer you three different coaching formats: group, individual and ca-
reer coaching. While you work together with the coach and other students on gen-
eral topics such as time management, work-life balance, motivation, etc. in our
group coaching, you can individually select your key priorities in the individual
coaching format. In our career coaching we take a look at your application doc-
uments in two 45-minute sessions and develop your personal career strategy to-
gether with you.
