A minimalist icon depicting a human silhouette with a heart symbol – this icon represents KTU alumni representatives or community members with a strong connection to the university.

I chose this study programme because I was interested in cybersecurity – a topical and relatively new field. The programme itself is interesting because you can learn more about programming, operating systems, information technologies and cyber security. It is this diversity in the whole study process that I enjoyed the most.
