Cybercrime/Cybersecurity

The elucidation of crimes in the cybercrime phenomenon is a growing challenge for the digital society in Germany. Cybercrime covers the offenses against the Internet, data networks, information technology systems or their data, as well as offenses committed by means of this information technology. The number of such misdemeanors and the damage to the economic location are increasing every year, and the technical costs of committing and investigating such offenses are constantly increasing. Experts in the field of cybersecurity are urgently needed to prevent such damage.

This development calls for a thorough training of the students. Through the establishment of a Master's Degree, the successful Bachelor's Degree at the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is completed in this field.
