ETF (SPR vs ETR) or PMF for Cyber Security + Master's abroad?

Hey everyone,

​I’m choosing between four UCG programs with the goal of working globally in cybersecurity and doing a Master’s degree abroad in the EU/US later.

​I already study practical coding and cyber labs on the side, and I'm looking for the best foundation:

​ETF - ETR (Academic)

​ETF - SPR (Applied)

​PMF - C smjer (Academic)

​PMF - D smjer (Applied)

​Questions:

1. ​Academic vs. Applied: ETR and PMF-C have brutal abstract math/physics. SPR focuses more on networks, OS, and databases. Is the ETR grind worth it for cyber?

2. ​Master’s after Applied: If I finish ETF-SPR (Applied), will the "applied" label block me from English-taught Master's programs in the EU/US, or do they only care about the 180 ECTS credits?

3. ​The Time Trade-off: Is it smarter to take SPR to save mental energy for hands-on labs and certifications on the side, or does an academic engineering title carry way more weight globally?

​Thanks for any insights!
