This 2-year, campus-based, full-time programme at UiA's Kristiansand campus equips students to manage and govern people, processes, and technology in a responsible and ethical manner. Students benefit from research-based teaching, case studies, and hands-on internships. The programme is taught entirely in English. It is accredited by the University of Agder.

Students will learn the role of cybersecurity in a digitally enabled world and how it contributes to a secure digital future. The curriculum includes a variety of teaching methods, such as lectures, seminars, and workshops, with a mandatory supervision meeting for the master's thesis. Students can also take part in an exchange programme with one of UiA's international partners.

University of Agder sits on Norway's southern coast with campuses in Kristiansand and Grimstad.

Academically, UiA balances teaching and research across applied sciences, social sciences, education and the arts, with an emphasis on collaboration and problem solving. Internationalisation is central to the university's strategy: UiA maintains hundreds of exchange agreements and receives exchange students each year, while offering research projects that invite student participation. Practical learning, close faculty contact and opportunities to join cross-disciplinary projects are core strengths.

Student life in Kristiansand combines safe campus living with coastal leisure, efficient public transport and easy access to nature. Support services for international students include orientation programs, language support and guidance on housing and internships.
