Teaching methods

The working method includes project work in teams. Conducting a cybersecurity project develops the students’ skills in planning, developing, and managing cybersecurity tasks as a part of international research, development and innovation (RDI) project.
The team makes research work in one of Lurea's RDI projects.
The team follows the project framework (PMBOK) and uses provided project document templates
The team applies selected information security framework with chosen context
The result of the project is the deliverables (for example demonstrable technical solution, final project report, or research paper) that demonstrate the results in a proper manner
The team will report their progress through video presentations that other teams will peer-review.
The team will present their results at the end of the study unit in a seminar. The presentation can be a beforehand recorded video.

Learning materials and recommended literature

Public deliverables of the target RDI project, open-source academic articles.

Alternative completion methods of implementation

According to the degree regulations “all students are entitled to demonstrate their competence. The recognition and accreditation of prior competence is initiated by the students themselves. The competence is recognised and accredited by the teacher responsible for the module or study unit or another person designated by the director of the UAS unit. The assessment is carried out according to the same criteria and grading scale as that adopted for the corresponding study unit.” For further information visit the student intranet.

Co-operation with working life and/or RDI

The student team makes research work in one of Lurea's RDI projects.

Important dates

Every student should be a member of one of the student teams before August 31.
