FAQs

About the course

Is this M.Sc in Cybersecurity beginner-friendly?

Yes. You don’t need a tech or security background. The course starts with the basics, covering how computers, networks, and systems work, and gradually moves to real-world security tools, ethical hacking, and digital forensics. It is paced to help you build skills step by step without feeling lost.

No. You will learn Python and shell scripting from scratch, and networking concepts are explained from the ground up. By the time you are finding vulnerabilities or defending systems, you will already be confident with the technical foundations.

Most online courses are either too basic or disconnected from real jobs. This one is a full European master’s degree taught entirely online with live support sessions, labs, and projects. You graduate with an M.Sc from a top French institution, recognised across Europe and valued worldwide.

It is focused entirely on cybersecurity. You will use real tools such as packet sniffers, threat scanners, SIEM platforms, and cloud security dashboards. Programming is just one part of it. The aim is to help you understand, detect, and defend against real threats.

You get personal career support from day one, including mentoring, interview preparation, resume reviews, and access to hiring partners worldwide. The projects you complete double as portfolio pieces, so you graduate with proof of your skills as well as a degree.
