Admission

Outline

The course is aimed at a wide audience, from new graduates in the ICT sector who immediately want to expand their knowledge, to graduates who want to specialize their education, to professionals who work for themselves or are employed in companies in any sector, already working in the area of ICT infrastructure design and management or software development and who want to update and expand their skills with elements of cyber security. As a legal requirement, participants must have a minimum of a three-year degree, not necessarily in the ICT sector. During the selection phase, the panel will also make sure that the candidates have the basic knowledge required to successfully follow the training program.
