    Mode of delivery

    Distance learning

    Learning materials and recommended literature

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

    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.
