Questions about MSc cyber security in eth
Hi everyone,
I’m a non-EU student admitted to the ETH MSc Cyber Security programme. One thing I’m worried about is the internship. From what I understand, the programme does not really have a compulsory internship, and for non-EU students this might make Swiss internships difficult because of the work permit rules.
So I’m wondering: in practice, how do non-EU students in programmes like this get local experience? Is it basically unrealistic to do a proper internship in Switzerland?
I’m also curious about the job market after graduation. For cs graduates, are general SWE / AI / ML engineer roles usually more realistic than security roles?
I know this depends a lot on the person and the market, but I’d really appreciate honest experiences and any advices from current students or people working in Switzerland.
Thanks!
