Cyber Security

The Leiden Institute of Advance Computer Science (LIACS) in collaboration with the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) have developed the minor Cyber Security to provide students with a mixture of technical and governance knowledge to set them on a path towards understanding cyberspace and cybersecurity.

Is this the right minor for you?

The minor Cyber Security is open for students with an interest in socio-technical challenges who want to delve into the technical and governance aspects of cyberspace in general and cybersecurity in particular. Some courses require knowledge or understanding of mathematics, so students should have affinity with the latter at high school level. No prior knowledge of law, public administration and governance is required.  Students are expected to have sufficient knowledge of English. In particular, the minor is accessible to study-abroad students and exchange students. Students from a computer science related discipline cannot be admitted to the minor.
