Admission Requirements

Cybersecurity Training - National School of Cybersecurity (NSCS)

Access to cybersecurity training requires a specific academic level to ensure that candidates possess the necessary foundation and prerequisites to succeed in a demanding technical curriculum. Training is strictly contingent upon holding a Baccalaureate in one of the following streams: Mathematics, Technical Mathematics or Experimental Sciences.

These streams guarantee the acquisition of the fundamental knowledge required for technical training. They ensure a sufficient mastery of core concepts in mathematics, logic, and science—all of which are essential for understanding networks, computer systems, and data security.

In addition to the specific Baccalaureate stream, admission is governed by minimum grade thresholds. These are determined annually by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, in accordance with the "Circular for Baccalaureate Holders" (circulaire du bachelier) published at the start of each academic year.

Accepted Baccalaureate Streams

Mathematics

This stream provides a strong foundation in mathematical reasoning, algebra, and analysis, which are essential for modeling and solving complex problems in cybersecurity.

Technical Mathematics

An applied orientation of mathematics with a technical dimension, ideal for understanding computer systems and security architectures.

Experimental Sciences

A rigorous scientific program that develops analytical thinking, an experimental approach, and methodological skills essential in cybersecurity.

Important Information

Minimum entry averages are determined by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
Admission thresholds are published in accordance with the official Baccalaureate circular at the beginning of each academic year.

Eligible candidates must follow the national orientation procedure managed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Placements are assigned based on Baccalaureate averages and the choices expressed by candidates, in compliance with the quotas and admission capacities defined for each program.
