The second level study program Cyber Security as a whole is well-designed and relevant, the subjects are interconnected and consistent. The goals and competencies of individual subjects are in line with the goals and competencies of the program and correspond to the type and level of study. Relevant scientific and professional and research contents are integrated into the program, and the program itself belongs to the field of relatively new science and is largely comparable in structure, goals and content with postgraduate study programs in cyber security of the best foreign universities. The program is in line with the current situation and development trends. The horizontal and vertical connection of the objects is appropriate. Elective courses represent one of the opportunities for improvement, both in terms of the share of ECTS in the program and in terms of content. Their share in the program could be increased, their implementation could be spread over several semesters, and the content could focus even more on special topics in the field of cyber security. In response to the report, the applicant has already made some appropriate adjustments in this direction. The study program is adequately related to the environment in which it operates, well identifies Slovenia's needs for the profession of Master of Cyber Security, as evidenced by the analysis of the labor market and the need for knowledge in society. Holders and implementers of the program have appropriate field elections, competencies and good references. The design of the study program corresponds to its content, composition, type, level and purpose. The methods, forms and course of teaching are appropriately determined, and the material conditions are appropriate. Some weaknesses arising from the application for accreditation and related to the way of gaining practical experience of students, the applicant in response to the report has already partially eliminated by enabling the acquisition of this experience for students in the business environment and new electives Work Practice. This is an adjustment in the right direction, which must also be realized, as practical experience in a real environment, after recognizing the world's most important experts in this field, is one of the most important components of the educational process. Namely, this field of study is subject to numerous changes as much as possible, and students need as many opportunities as possible to get acquainted with the practice, both with relevant projects and with work in a real environment. At the moment, the applicant does not have enough projects focused on this area, which he himself notes, so it is necessary to increase the number of projects in the field of cyber security. The group of experts also initially identified two shortcomings, which were related only to the technical and administrative aspect of the preparation of the application for accreditation and were eliminated by the applicant, for which he provided the relevant evidence.
