Applications Open for the Joint Master’s Programme in International Cybersecurity and Cyberintelligence

The Arqus European University Alliance has officially opened the first call for applications for the 2026–2028 intake of the Joint Master’s Programme in International Cybersecurity and Cyberintelligence (MICAC), a two-year international master’s degree jointly delivered by four leading European universities.

MICAC is designed for students seeking advanced, practice-oriented training in cybersecurity within a truly European academic environment. The programme is jointly delivered by the University of Padua, Vilnius University, the University of Granada and the University of Minho, and is taught entirely in English.

A core feature of the programme is mandatory international mobility, allowing students to study at different partner universities over the two academic years as part of a single joint degree.
