4TU Cyber Security Prgramme comes to an end

After September 2024 the UT And TU Delft will end the joint 4TU Cyber Security programme and both universities will organize their separate programmes. In preparation of this change, alternative courses with largely overlapping content are offered already in academic year 2023 at both universities. Thus, students in academic year 2023-2024 can choose whether to take the UT version or the TUD alternative (via tele-lecturing or previous lecture recordings).

Students at the University of Twente students can find further details at the UT website.
