Erasmus Cybersecurity — Chances with a Non-CS Background?
Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply for an Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in Cybersecurity, but I’m a little concerned about my academic background.
I have around 3 years of professional experience as a Cybersecurity Analyst at a top company in Saudi Arabia, working in cybersecurity/GRC-related areas. However, my bachelor’s degree is in Media and Communication, with a 3.7 CGPA.
The Cybersecurity master’s programs I’m interested in generally mention that applicants should have a background in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or a closely related field.
Given my professional cybersecurity experience but unrelated bachelor’s degree:
Do I still have a realistic chance of getting admitted?
How strictly do Erasmus programs enforce the academic background requirement?
Would my 3 years of cybersecurity experience help compensate for my degree?
Has anyone here been admitted to an Erasmus cybersecurity program with a non-CS/IT bachelor’s degree?
I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through a similar situation or has experience with Erasmus Cybersecurity admissions. Thank you!
