About the Program
Program Curriculum
60 - 120 ECTS
Year 1 (Semester 1-2)
Foundations in IT and Introduction to Cyber Security
Students are introduced to the fundamentals of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), programming basics, and number theory, which is essential for understanding cryptography concepts. This semester also introduces cyber security, offering students an initial immersion in the field, and includes an English comprehension course to strengthen language skills.
In the second semester, students deepen their technical skills with courses in object-oriented programming, web technologies, computer networks, and professional technical writing. A course on professional practices provides practical insights into industry standards and workplace readiness.
Year 2 (Semester 3-4)
Core Cyber Security and Network Engineering
Students build foundational knowledge in information security, operating systems, and data structures and algorithms. Courses in probability and statistics and computer organization and architecture provide essential analytical and technical skills, crucial for cybersecurity analysis.
Focus shifts to specialized areas, with courses on cryptography, network engineering, and database management systems. Students also learn Python programming, a key language in cybersecurity, and delve into cybersecurity governance and compliance, covering critical regulations and standards.
Year 3 (Semester 5-6)
Advanced Cyber Security Practices and Project Development
Advanced courses in steganography, cyber forensics, and ethical hacking and penetration testing equip students with hands-on techniques for detecting and countering cyber threats. A course on cloud security introduces cloud-based challenges and solutions, while students start their final year project (Phase I), applying their skills in a real-world setting.
The final semester includes courses in intrusion detection and prevention systems, malware detection and analysis, and software engineering. A course on cyber ethics and laws explores the ethical considerations and legal frameworks governing cybersecurity. Students complete their final year project (Phase II), consolidating their learning through a comprehensive project.
This curriculum, focused on both technical knowledge and practical application, ensures that graduates are equipped to address current and emerging cybersecurity challenges across various industries.
