Descriptions

The professional growth of students is carried out with a tutoring process which starts at the very beginning of the studies and continues until graduation. In this process students complete their personal learning plans and discuss their needs for developing their target competences with their designated teacher tutors. The 60-ECTS programme is designed as obligatory core studies and optional studies. The discussions with the teacher tutor lead to selecting appropriate courses in students’ optional studies. The core studies includes 20 ECTS Cyber security module and 30 ECTS Master thesis. Cyber security module develop students' expertise in the Cyber security and the students can choose their topics for their 30-ECTS master thesis. The students are provided with personal supervision and guidance in master thesis seminars when writing their theses. The courses in the management module and the research and development module aim to develop students' shared master competences. In addition, students can take 5 ECTS of elective studies from management electives or other available master level courses and develop their complementary competence.
