Cybersecurity is taught at various university levels at Polytechnique: certificates, within engineering training, at Master’s and doctoral levels.

Certificates

Polytechnique Montréal’s Cybersecurity certificates can lead to Bachelors of Science (via certificate accumulation) for those who select that option. The latter academic route is largely intended for IT professionals seeking to equip themselves for employment in the computer security networks sector, or for those seeking an introduction to the latter field. Certificates are also an appealing option for managers or others who during the course of their employment, are called upon to implement and/or administer programs ensuring effective security management for information systems, assessing vulnerability levels, and the consequences of poor security.

Masters and PhD
