SKEMA Business School
MSc Cybersecurity Management and Consulting
A double-degree master that combines technical cybersecurity training from ESIEA with management, governance and consulting taught by SKEMA. Suits students who want to bridge technical cyber expertise and strategic advisory roles — particularly those aiming for governance, risk & compliance (GRC) and leadership positions in organisations.
What you'll study
The syllabus is organised across two intensive semesters combining management and technical topics, practical simulations and consulting preparation. Core areas and courses identified on the programme page include:
- Cyber Law & Compliance
- Risk Assessment & Impact Analysis
- Data Security & Cryptography Principles
- Cyber Threats & Vulnerabilities
- Incident Response
- Cybersecurity Strategy Development
- Consulting Simulation and Business Consulting Fundamentals
- Information Systems Governance and Organizational Governance
- Project Management Fundamentals and Strategic Management & Formulation
- Preparatory modules for consulting interviews and career management
- Optional-themed modules such as DPO (Data Protection Officer) or Cyber Insurance
Semester 1 is delivered on SKEMA's Grand Paris campus and Semester 2 on the ESIEA campus. Semester 1 totals 21 ECTS credits for the listed core courses.
Entry requirements
Admission level is completion of high school plus three years of study (a bachelor degree). The programme starts in September. Duration is full-time with either a one-year or two-year track depending on previously earned ECTS.
Career prospects
Graduates are prepared for roles that require both technical understanding and business strategy: managing cyber risk, advising organisations on governance, risk management and compliance (GRC), leading consulting engagements that support digital transformation, and taking on leadership positions responsible for cybersecurity initiatives. The course’s practical simulations, industry interactions and corporate-focused thesis aim to support transition into consulting firms, in-house security governance teams, risk & compliance functions, or cyber insurance-related roles.
