The University of Vienna is the largest and one of the oldest universities in the German-speaking world, with a Faculty of Computer Science that conducts research in security, privacy and cryptography. Research groups address topics such as secure and privacy-preserving systems, network security and the theoretical foundations of cryptography.
Security-related content is embedded in the faculty's computer science master's study, where students can take specialised courses in cryptography, security and privacy alongside core computer science. The university's research environment supports students who want to engage with current security challenges in depth.
As a public Austrian university, tuition is very low, and a number of advanced courses are offered in English. Its central Vienna location places students in a major European hub for technology, policy and international organisations.
