Cybersecurity

Hi, I need your help.

In high school I was fascinated by cybersecurity – penetration testing was what I wanted to do in the future. I didn’t get accepted into the program I originally wanted, which was Cybersecurity at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Regular computer science didn’t interest me, so I started looking for alternatives. I ended up at the General Tadeusz Kościuszko Military University of Land Forces, where the Computer Science program offered a specialization in “Security in Cyberspace,” and that’s where I began my studies.

I’m currently in my second semester. Out of 11 people, only 7 are left. The schedule is chaotic, divided into even and odd weeks – one week we’re at the university for just one day, and the next week we spend the entire week there, often from 12–4 PM (sometimes even 3–7 PM). Sitting in a small group where hardly anyone talks to each other is quite overwhelming. It doesn’t help that the university is located on the outskirts of Wrocław – commuting takes time, and they don’t provide parking for students, so we have to park in nearby residential areas, where there have been situations where cars were scratched or even smeared with excrement.

The course topics seem interesting, but when it comes to actual classes, either the lecturer can’t handle the material properly or the classes are simply boring. I don’t see real prospects of learning something practical there that would genuinely be useful. By the end of the academic year, I plan to try to transfer to another university. I’d prefer to stay in cybersecurity, but programming is my second option.

At this university, there was one lecturer who actually taught in an engaging way and managed to teach us the basics of C#. With my previous experience in Python from high school, I can also see myself working as a programmer in the future.

While looking for alternatives, I found:

* Technical Computer Science at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology
* Computer Science at the University of Wrocław
* Computer Science at DSW University of Lower Silesia

There’s still a small spark of hope that this semester will bring better lecturers. I also joined a drone club where we’ll be designing different types of drones for a ministry competition (maybe that will make me stay at this university).

I’m looking for advice – what would you do in my situation? Ideally, I’d like to become a pentester, but becoming a programmer is also an option. Would you stay at the current university or move to another one (maybe one of the ones listed above)? If there’s any graduate from any of these universities here, I’d also love to hear your feedback.

Thanks for reading my rambling 😉
