Testimonies
In order to consolidate my knowledge in the field of information security and cybersecurity, I chose the Master's degree in Cybersecurity and Information Systems Audit at ISPGAYA, as it provides a diversity of opportunities in the field and its interdisciplinary approach provides us with essential skills and concepts for this new reality (Digital Security).
Manuel Oliveira
Estudante Mestrado
I chose ISPGAYA based on recommendations from other students, and in the same way, I also recommend it. Most of the professors and staff who accompanied me throughout my management degree were always very helpful, and each one, in their role, provided me with unforgettable moments that enriched me for my future. Therefore, I want to thank all the people who accompanied me because every day they were present in my life, they made a contribution to my personal and professional fulfillment. Thank you very much.
