Testimonial

Statement Aurore Fass

phd in cyber security germany

Actually, I want to be a Professor and research is part of it. The main reason why I chose this career path is teaching: preparing and giving lectures, supervising students, and kindle their interest and enthusiasm for my topics. What I found interesting as well is the freedom in terms of topics. Part of being a researcher is solving problems that are yet unknown, which means you do not necessarily know what will be the next step. You need to reflect, invent, come up with creative ideas, implement and test your ideas. Sometimes the idea will work, sometimes it won’t. This freedom to invent my own path (instead of doing what somebody wants you to do), was another important reason for me to become a researcher.

A lot of things! My research is in the area of IT Security and I love the opportunity to contribute to making our interconnected world more secure my means of our research. I like working on specific problems and suggesting solutions. I also love a researcher’s freedom. I can chose my research areas, projects or even people I want to work with independently. I can organize my work day according to my preferences and I like being able to share my skills and research results with others, not just by giving lectures or supervising students, but also giving talks at international conferences. These conferences are a great means to build strong international networks and connections. What I also like about conferences, is the opportunity to expand my knowledge in various areas.

In my research, I am developing new methods to detect malware and vulnerable programs automatically and accurately. Additionally, I am investigating how much we can rely on existing antivirus software.

Even if there are more male than female IT-Security researchers, this did not influence my decision to work in this area and it has nothing to do with my work. There are also trainings or workshops (Blackhoodie, e.g.) which try and encourage more women to work in this area. Saarland University offers programs such as MentoMINT or the excellence program for female junior scientists. I also enjoy answering questions or sharing my experience!

Cybersecurity Guide

From scholar to expert: Cybersecurity PhD options

In this guide

  • Industry demand
  • 2024 rankings
  • Preparation
  • Considerations
  • School listings

The cybersecurity landscape is not just growing—it’s evolving at a breakneck pace. And what better way to stay ahead of the curve than by pursuing a PhD in cybersecurity?

This advanced degree is no longer confined to the realm of computer science. Today, it branches into diverse fields like law, policy, management, and strategy, reflecting the multifaceted nature of modern cyber threats.

If you’re looking to become a thought leader in this dynamic industry, a PhD in cybersecurity offers an unparalleled opportunity to deepen your expertise and broaden your horizons.

This guide is designed to give prospective cybersecurity PhD students a general overview of available cybersecurity PhD programs. It will also outline some of the factors to consider when trying to find the right PhD program fit, such as course requirements and tuition costs. 

Industry demand for PhDs in cybersecurity

Like other cutting-edge technology fields, until recently, cybersecurity PhD programs were often training grounds for niche positions and specialized research, often for government agencies (like the CIA, NSA, and FBI),  or closely adjacent research organizations or institutions. 

Today, however, as the cybersecurity field grows to become more pervasive and consumer-oriented, there are opportunities for cybersecurity PhDs to work at public-facing companies like startups and name-brand financial, software, infrastructure, and digital service firms.

One trend that is emerging in the cybersecurity field is that cybersecurity experts need to be well-versed in a variety of growing threats. If recent headlines about cybersecurity breaches are any indication, there are a number of new attack vectors and opportunities for cybercrime and related issues. Historically, committing cybercrime took resources and a level of sophistication that required specialized training or skill.

But now, because of the pervasiveness of the internet, committing cybercrime is becoming more commonplace. So training in a cybersecurity PhD program allows students to become an experts in one part of a growing and multi-layered field.

In fact, this trend of needing well-trained, but adaptable cybersecurity professionals is reflected by the move by cybersecurity graduate schools to offer specialized master’s degrees , and many companies and professional organizations offer certifications in cybersecurity that focus on particular issues related to cybersecurity technology, cybersecurity law , digital forensics , policy, or related topics.

That said, traditional research-oriented cybersecurity positions continue to be in demand in academia and elsewhere — a trend that will likely continue. 

One interesting facet of the cybersecurity field is trying to predict what future cybersecurity threats might look like and then develop tools and systems to protect against those threats.

As new technologies and services are developed and as more of the global population begins using Internet services for everything from healthcare to banking — new ways of protecting those services will be required. Often, it’s up to academic researchers to think ahead and examine various threats and opportunities to insulate against those threats.

Another key trend coming out of academic circles is that cybersecurity students are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary.

As cybersecurity hacks impact more parts of people’s everyday lives, so too do the academic programs that are designed to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. This emerging trend creates an enormous amount of opportunity for students who have a variety of interests and who are looking to create a non-traditional career path.

The best cybersecurity PhD programs for 2024

Capella university, georgia institute of technology, northeastern university, marymount university, school of technology and innovation, nova southeastern university, college of computing & engineering, purdue university, stevens institute of technology, worcester polytechnic institute, university of illinois at urbana-champaign, mississippi state university, new york institute of technology.

These rankings were compiled from data accessed in November 2023 from the Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and College Navigator (both services National Center for Education Statistics). Tuition data was pulled from individual university websites and is current as of November 2023.

What is required to get a PhD in cybersecurity?

Good news first: Obtaining a PhD in a field related to cybersecurity will likely create tremendous employment opportunities and lead to interesting and dynamic career options.

Bad news: Getting a PhD requires a lot of investment of time and energy, and comes with a big opportunity cost (meaning you have to invest four to five years, or longer, or pursue other opportunities to obtain a doctoral degree. 

Here’s a quick breakdown of what is required to get a PhD in cybersecurity. Of course, specific degree requirements will vary by program. One growing trend in the field is that students can now obtain degrees in a variety of formats, including traditional on-campus programs, online degree programs , and hybrid graduate degree programs that combine both on-campus learning with online learning.

Preparing for a cybersecurity doctorate program

Cybersecurity is a relatively new formalized technology field, nonetheless, there are several ways that students or prospective PhD candidates can get involved or explore the field before and during a graduate school program. A few examples of ways to start networking and finding opportunities include: 

Join cybersecurity organizations with professional networks

Specialized professional organizations are a good place to find the latest in career advice and guidance. Often they publish newsletters or other kinds of information that provide insights into the emerging trends and issues facing cybersecurity professionals. A couple of examples include:

The Center for Internet Security  (CIS) is a non-profit dedicated to training cybersecurity professionals and fostering a sense of collaboration. The organization also publishes information and analysis of the latest cybersecurity threats and issues facing the professional community.

The SANS Institute runs several different kinds of courses for students (including certification programs) as well as ongoing professional cybersecurity education and training for people working in the field. The organization has several options including webinars, online training, and live in-person seminars. Additionally, SANS also publishes newsletters and maintains forums for cybersecurity professionals to interact and share information.

Leverage your social network

Places like LinkedIn and Twitter are good places to start to find news and information about what is happening in the field, who the main leaders and influencers are, and what kinds of jobs and opportunities are available.

Starting a professional network early is also a great opportunity. Often professionals and members of the industry are willing to provide guidance and help to students who are genuinely interested in the field and looking for career opportunities. 

Cybersecurity competitions 

Cybersecurity competitions are a great way to get hands-on experience working on real cybersecurity problems and issues. As a PhD student or prospective student, cybersecurity competitions that are sponsored by industry groups are a great way to meet other cybersecurity professionals while getting working on projects that will help flesh out a resume or become talking points in later job interviews.

The US Cyber Challenge , for example, is a series of competitions and hackathon-style events hosted by the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and the Center for Internet Security to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

Internships

Internships also continue to be a tried and true way to gain professional experience. Internships in technical fields like cybersecurity can also pay well. Like the industry itself, cybersecurity internships are available across a wide range of industries and can range from academic research-oriented to more corporate kinds of work. 

Things to consider when choosing a cybersecurity PhD program

There are many considerations to evaluate when considering any kind of graduate degree, but proper planning is essential to be able to obtain a doctoral degree. It’s also important to note that these are just guidelines and that each graduate program will have specific requirements, so be sure to double-check.

What you will need before applying to a cybersecurity PhD program:

  • All undergraduate and graduate transcripts
  • A statement of intent, which is like a cover letter outlining interest
  • Letters of reference
  • Application fee
  • Online application
  • A resume or CV outlining professional and academic accomplishments

What does a cybersecurity PhD program cost?

Obtaining a PhD is a massive investment, both in terms of time and money. Cybersecurity PhD students are weighing the cost of becoming an expert in the field with the payoff of having interesting and potentially lucrative career opportunities on the other side.

Degree requirements are usually satisfied in 60-75 hours, so the cost of a doctoral degree can be well into the six-figure range. Here’s a more specific breakdown:

Tuition rates

The Cybersecurity Guide research team looked at 26 programs that offer a cybersecurity-related PhD degree. Here’s a breakdown of tuition rates (all figures are based on out-of-state tuition).

$17,580 is the most affordable PhD program option and it is available at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

$86,833 is the average cost of a cybersecurity PhD and is based on tuition rates from all 26 schools.

$197,820 is the most expensive cybersecurity PhD program and is available at Indiana University Bloomington.

The good news is that by the time students get to the PhD level there are a lot of funding options — including some graduate programs that are completely funded by the university or academic departments themselves.

Additionally, funding in the form of research grants and other kinds of scholarships is available for students interested in pursuing cybersecurity studies. 

One example is the CyberCorps: Scholarships for Service program. Administered by the National Science Foundation, PhD students studying cybersecurity are eligible for a $34,000 a year scholarship, along with a professional stipend of $6,000 to attend conferences in exchange for agreeing to work for a government agency in the cybersecurity space after the PhD program. 

Frequently asked questions about cybersecurity PhD programs

Most traditional and online cybersecurity graduate programs require a minimum number of credits that need to be completed to obtain a degree. On average, it takes 71 credits to graduate with a PhD in cybersecurity — far longer (almost double) than traditional master’s degree programs. In addition to coursework, most PhD students also have research and teaching responsibilities that can be simultaneously demanding and great career preparation.

At the core of a cybersecurity doctoral program is a data science doctoral program, you’ll be expected to learn many skills and also how to apply them across domains and disciplines. Core curriculums will vary from program to program, but almost all will have a core foundation of statistics.  

All PhD candidates will have to take a series of exams that act as checkpoints during the lengthy PhD process. The actual exam process and timing can vary depending on the university and the program, but the basic idea is that cybersecurity PhD candidates generally have to sit for a qualifying exam, which comes earlier in the program (usually the winter or spring of the second year of study), a preliminary exam, which a candidate takes to show they are ready to start the dissertation or research portion of the PhD program, and a final exam where PhD students present and defend their research and complete their degree requirements. 

A cybersecurity PhD dissertation is the capstone of a doctoral program. The dissertation is the name of a formal paper that presents the findings of original research that the PhD candidate conducted during the program under the guidance of faculty advisors. Some example cybersecurity research topics that could potentially be turned into dissertation ideas include: * Policies and best practices around passwords * Ways to defend against the rise of bots * Policies around encryption and privacy * Corporate responsibility for employee security * Internet advertising targeting and privacy * The new frontier of social engineering attacks * Operation security (OpSec) strategy and policy * Network infrastructure and defense * Cybersecurity law and policy * The vulnerabilities of biometrics * The role of ethical hacking * Cybersecurity forensics and enforcement

Language of Instruction

Programme overview.

The aim of this programme is to equip students with state-of-the-art knowledge and the skill set needed to lead a successful career in cyber security in an international context. The ambition is to help shape the cyber security of the future, enabling them to analyse and solve problems and to make decisions with an awareness of the strategic context, the role of technology and of managing within and between organisations. The programme is designed to provide you with a solid core knowledge in Cyber Security, Network and System Security, Cybercrime and Forensics, as well as legal aspects.

The programme is designed for graduates interested in careers in cybersecurity, cybercrime or IT security. Graduates will be able to work as consultants or employees in virtually any industry.

Page Section

The aim of this module is to provide students with a critical understanding of criminological and sociological approaches to crime and deviance on the Internet (or ‘cybercrime’). Students will explore the range of links between crime, deviance, ‘information communication technologies’ (ICTs), and ICT users. The module will enable students advance their knowledge of ‘cybercrime’ through the study of criminological and sociological literature, and cybercrime case studies organised into specific topics, including cyber-stalking, online offences against children, and cyberterrorism. Such topics will enable key concepts and theories in this area to be used by students in a critical and imaginative manner. Finally, the module will help students understand how ICT users, the IT industry, criminal justice professionals, and policy makers become entangled in attempts to define and regulate networked ICT use within broader society.

Digital Forensics

This module aims to develop technical investigative skills with regard to the gathering of information from compromised systems. The module covers skills and technologies that you will require in order to gather information and draw inferences from that data regarding the attack as it occurred or as it unfolds. You will develop the skills required to apply the knowledge in order to carry out an investigation in a range of situations and on differing devices.

Information System Risk Management

The focus of this module lies on the current Information System Risk Management processes and best practices. For security staff to be effective it is important that they have a firm understanding of risk management strategies. Such an awareness enables them to analyse business threats and the risks they pose within well-known frameworks and take countermeasures to those threats equal with the level of risk they carry.

This module will identify key frameworks, international standards and best practices involved in Risk Assessment, Business Impact Analysis, Asset Identification and Risk Management.

The ultimate aim is to develop your critical appreciation for importance of Information Risk Management in the Information Systems Security arena.

Information System Security Management

This module focuses on the current Information security technologies and best practices. The module gives the students a wide appreciation of security within information technology, taking them through security technologies, access control systems, business continuity, disaster recovery and information security within the context of legal and ethical frameworks. The module will particularly focus on the impact security has in the corporate environment and how to effectively apply security in a networked environment.

Introduction to Law

The aim of the module is to give you a basic working knowledge of relevant legal systems, sources, institutions and personnel.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Demystifying legal culture
  • Introducing legal materials
  • Where to find the legal material – Introducing legal research methods online and in libraries
  • An introduction to the German legal system, covering historical development and court hierarchy
  • European Law
  • Human Rights Law
  • International Law

Network and Systems Security

With more and more companies and institutions relying on systems connected to the public Internet, Internet systems security has become a major concern. The goal of this module is to provide an introduction to the process of networked system security. More specifically, this module reviews network and system security issues and threats, and gives a broad view of network and system security services and mechanisms, whose understanding is essential in the design and implementation of security strategies for a networked environment

Penetration testing

This module aims to furnish students with the skills and understanding to test IT infrastructures for vulnerabilities to malicious attack. The purpose is to enable students to understand the attack process in order for them to be able to develop IT infrastructures more able to withstand attack. The students will be given first hand practical experience of using tools and techniques to carry out such an attack in order to better understand it.

MSc Dissertation

A large part of the Master’s involves completing a dissertation project. This starts with you selecting a project by December in the first term of study. This piece of work will involve writing 20-30,000 words and consist of around 600 hours of work.

This is a self-study module that is designed to provide the foundation of the main dissertation, at a level considered to be publishable quality. On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to make value judgement relating to technologies and applications, and to justify these to peers and academic staff.

The topic of the project will vary from student to student, but will be at a level commensurate with the weight and level of the module. Students will refine, extend, and perfect their own scientific reflection and practice. The project also offers students the opportunity to apply their technical skills and knowledge on current world-class research problems and to develop expert knowledge of a specific area.

Programme structure

Information contained on the website with respect to modules is correct at the time of publication, and the University will make every reasonable effort to offer modules as advertised. In some cases, changes may be necessary and may result in some combinations being unavailable, for example as a result of student feedback, timetabling, staff changes and new research. Not all optional modules are available every year.

Teaching and Assessment

Teaching is delivered via a combination of small group lectures and group-based tutorials. Assessment is via individual or group coursework, research, projects and examinations. You will be expected to undertake independent study throughout to supplement what is being taught/learned and to broaden your personal knowledge.

All teaching is conducted in English.

Degree Award

After finishing your programme, you will receive your degree certificate from the Lancaster University UK.

Develop the skills, knowledge, and experience to face one of the modern world’s greatest challenges. This programme will prepare students for an exciting and rewarding career in cyber security, application and software security, and cyber law enforcement, among others.

The programme is designed for graduates interested in careers in cyber security. The offering will be suitable for students pursuing a master’s degree as an extension to their BSc in Computer Science/ Statistics or other fields that equipped them with the necessary pre-requisites. Graduates from this course can expect to work as computer scientist in general, but more specifically as:

  • Cyber Security Analyst
  • Cyber Security Consultant
  • Manager IT Security
  • Cyber Security Expert
  • Cyber Security Architect

Every day there are cyber-attacks on companies threatening their security and viability. Once successful, cybercrime can cost companies millions of Euros and sometimes even their existence. Thus, it is unsurprising that businesses are in need of experts who can protect them from such attacks by consulting them on IT security. Leipzig is a hub for cyber security with corporations like the Dutch company Northwave, that settled in Leipzig in 2019, the Munich founded electronics giant Rohde & Schwarz or Rhebo, originally a local startup. The federal cyber agency is based only half an hour from Leipzig concerning itself with cybercrime as an internal security risk. Cybersecurity is an omnipresent need in all bigger companies dealing with sensitive data, whether it is PwC, Deloitte, Sopra Steria or KPMG. Graduates of this field are in high demand in Leipzig and worldwide.
