The MSc in Cyber Risk Strategy and Governance (Joint Bocconi – Politecnico di Milano Program; in English) involves “mobility of students”.

The curriculum is structured to allow students to progressively orient themselves towards different professional outcomes.

The first part of the program structure (year 1) includes compulsory courses and seminars that are common to all students in the degree program to:

• strengthen competences in the fields of computer science to set the base for a solid professional development in cyber risks (first semester at Politecnico);
• enhance the tool kit needed to frame cyber risks, set the appropriate strategies and govern their complexity in organisational environments (second semester at Bocconi).

These semesters are characterized by a multi-disciplinary approach to tackle the key topics of the program.

The second part of the program structure (year 2) includes seminars on ethics and for the development of behavioral skills and elective courses chosen by students to sharpen their professional profile in accordance with the main job profiles. Both Bocconi courses and Politecnico courses can be taken.

Teachings of the study plan include lectures and laboratory exercises, as well as autonomous project activities and individual laboratory activities (corresponding to min 10 cfu).

The third part of the study plan (2nd year) includes:

• a work experience (internship or similar activity);
• one EU language; for non-Italian native speakers: Italian is compulsory; for Italian native speakers: another EU language among those listed in the Bocconi University Guide;
• a thesis, which significantly characterizes the professional portfolio of the student.
