Taking the Master in Information Technology – Information Security was a very good decision. It took me a lot of effort and hours to complete it, but it was worth it. Now that I have returned to my company, I was able to choose a project amongst multiple interesting and challenging ones. I am much more motivated and working on something directly related to the master program, so it definitely improved my personal and professional life.

Studying in this information security program meant a lot to me. Since I came from China, not only did I have the opportunity to approach security and explore new perspectives in information security, but I also experienced a different country and its culture. The security program provided me with tough tasks, which prepared me very well for my future career. It was worthwhile!

The high standards and demand of this master have broadened my perspective on Information Security, not only because of all the knowledge imparted on the subject but also because of the information acquired trough research and development processes. In my professional life I became able to make more confident and informed decisions about IT Security, which led me to assume wider responsibilities at my job. Completing this Master was a challenge and a hard task. However, the continued daily work gets us so involved that learning becomes a natural consequence.

When I decided to take this master, my only thought was on the advantages it would give me compared to my fellow students at LEI (Licenciatura em Engenharia Informática) since I would have both a master from FCUL and CMU. I see now that I was short-sighted on the advantages. The intense rhythm I was subject to made me more productive, I have found the topic of security to be very interesting and needed in our days, and it opened many doors in my recently started professional life. Best decision I could have taken!
