Program Overview

Introduction to the M.Sc. in Cybersecurity

The University of Pisa, founded in 1343, is amongst the top institutions in the main international rankings. According to the latest Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) 2020, the University of Pisa is ranked between 151st and 200th in the world and between 1st and 3rd in Italy. The M.Sc. in Cybersecurity is held in English and requires a solid knowledge of this language (intermediate level or B2 level in the E.U. Framework for foreign languages). It also requires a solid background, high motivation, and a hard-working attitude.


Information for Enrolment

The call for admission of non-EU students is published once per year. Important note: The University of Pisa also offers a 1-year program called "Master in Cybersecurity", which is different from the "M.Sc. in Cybersecurity" (a 2-year program held in English).

Scholarships

Each academic year, the University of Pisa generally offers a number of scholarships to the top international students. Scholarships are awarded based on the following factors:
