Information and Information Technology Security studies offer a wide range of careers in cybersecurity, risk management and other areas, and provide a highly relevant education. What I liked most were the lecturers who had practical experience in the subjects they teach. They enhanced the learning process and helped to understand how theory relates to practice.
I chose this study programme because it seemed relevant and interesting. The studies were interesting and engaging, and the blended learning format allowed me to successfully combine work and study. Although I lived and worked in Vilnius, I was able to attend lectures remotely and on campus. The knowledge I gained broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of IT systems.
All study-related activities on this programme, including coursework, discussions and exams, are conducted in Lithuanian.
Technical knowledge of networks, operating systems and encryption principles is important for a career in cyber security. Logical thinking, problem-solving skills and the ability to react quickly to threats are also essential. Continuous learning is required as threats are constantly changing. In addition to technical skills, communication is important to be able to clearly communicate complex information.
Cyber security professionals have a wide range of career opportunities in both the public and private sectors. They can work as security analysts, ethical hackers, information technology (IT) auditors or data protection officers. There are also opportunities to specialise in cloud computing security, incident management or risk assessment. As cyber threats continue to grow, demand for these professionals is increasing and salaries are often high, especially with international certifications and experience.
