MSc: Information security or UX/UI design?

Question

IT education

Hello, I would like to get advice from people directly related to information security or UX / UI design.
I don’t have a technical background, the bachelor’s degree is in no way connected with the IT field, but since I had a great desire to get an education in this field, now I am faced with the question of choosing between these two programs (I passed both exams and pass on points).
I really want to find out from experienced people what is more in demand today (I understand that both directions, but in the long term?), and, accordingly, where it would be easier for a person without technical backing to learn (in particular, cryptography in information security is scary), but here is a possible job as a pentester with such an education is very attractive .... As for UX / UI design, knowledge of fsh, html, css and the beginnings of java makes things easier. But, since I'm at a crossroads right now, I would really like to know about the + and - professions in these areas, which do you think is better to choose? With what education would it be possible to work in foreign companies? (judging by what I read about information security, localization ends with Russia), so I really look forward to answers from experienced people.
Thanks in advance to everyone who reads this and expresses their opinion on this matter.
ps I understand that, to someone, everything that I described may seem completely illogical, but I ask without jokes and trolling, I need an outside view.

Answer 1

IMHO, if there is no basic education in computer engineering, computer science, etc., then there is no point in IS. It’s too much to catch up and study on your own, in order to at least understand what it is about. But UX / UI design is quite uplifting even for people with a humanitarian background. . From my point of view, this is even more likely not IT science in its purest form, but rather "a little IT" with a deep roll in the field of psychology, sociology, design, marketing, etc.
As for foreign companies, they have enough of their own UX / UI designers. But the requirements for the quality of training of an information security specialist will be significantly higher. Yes, and in local companies - a designer can always be "on the spot" to finish teaching, polishing, coaching, mistakes - if suddenly - to make amends, etc. And punctures in the organization of information security can cause such losses, which is sometimes better without at all than with a "underspecialist".
Well, the knowledge of a foreign (English) language for a normal information security specialist should be two orders of magnitude higher than that of a UX / UI designer.

Answer 2

Infobez - Applied Uzabili
and Yuiks - Psychology and also Applied It
is not clear what candidate or doctoral thesis to write after such a master's degree
Today, professionals with experience are in demand, not trainee masters

Answer 3

Judging by the way you write, you tend to lean more towards UI/UX, so go there. Now it is in demand.
Information security is a more boring and gray thing, these are various regulations, documents, technologies, depths. See if you need it.
If you want to continue UI / UX and you are looking for a project, then write to me. I desperately need a designer. You will get the same experience. In the future, it will be more interesting and you can get a job in many places and you will have your own business.

Answer 4

Choose what is interesting and what you have the ability to do. These are completely different areas. UX / UI design is essentially a design with elements of marketing, sociology and psychology (judging by this video - link), and security ... is not familiar with it, but I think it's closer to pieces of iron, methods of encryption and information protection, eliminating any holes in the software and a little bit of programming and databases (from programming, as I heard, C / C plus plus is used). So the first is closer to the humanities and artists, the second - to programmers, engineers, system administrators. So choose which direction is closer to you.
