Toggle between the two programs to explore each curriculum. Both are 7 modules, 60 ECTS, assignment-based.
Understand the cybersecurity landscape in today's organisations — threat vectors, security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001), governance structures, and how security fits into business strategy. Foundational module that sets context for everything that follows.
Assessment: Assignment
Protect networks from intrusion. Covers firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, VPNs, network segmentation, zero-trust architecture, and securing cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP). Hands-on application of defence-in-depth strategies.
Assessment: Assignment
The mathematics and mechanisms behind data protection. Covers symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, PKI, TLS/SSL, blockchain cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography concepts. The backbone of every secure system.
Assessment: Assignment
Manage risk at the enterprise level. Covers risk assessment frameworks, GDPR, data protection regulations, security auditing, business continuity planning, and how to build compliance programs that satisfy regulators without paralysing the business.
Assessment: Assignment
Investigate breaches and respond to incidents. Covers evidence collection, chain of custody, forensic analysis tools, malware analysis, incident response playbooks, and post-incident reporting. What happens after a breach — and how to handle it professionally.
Assessment: Assignment
Apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios. Covers penetration testing methodologies, ethical hacking tools (Kali, Metasploit, Wireshark), vulnerability assessment, red team/blue team exercises, and securing specific environments (IoT, mobile, OT/SCADA).
Assessment: Assignment
Your capstone. Learn research methodology, then produce an original dissertation on a cybersecurity topic of your choice. Supervised by an academic advisor. Conclude with a VIVA — a formal presentation and defence of your research to an academic panel.
Assessment: Dissertation (10,000+ words) + VIVA
Foundations of generative AI — how models create text, images, code, and audio. Covers GANs, VAEs, diffusion models, and the architecture behind modern AI systems. Sets the theoretical groundwork for everything that follows.
Assessment: Assignment
Deep dive into LLMs — GPT architectures, training pipelines, fine-tuning, RLHF, tokenisation, context windows, and inference optimisation. Understand how models like GPT-4, Claude, and Llama work under the hood and how to evaluate them for production use.
Assessment: Assignment
The practical skill of getting AI to do what you need. Covers prompt design patterns, chain-of-thought, few-shot learning, system prompts, and building AI applications using LangChain — the most widely used framework for chaining LLM calls into workflows.
Assessment: Assignment
The architecture powering modern AI. Covers self-attention mechanisms, encoder-decoder models, BERT, GPT, T5, vision transformers (ViT), and state space models (Mamba, S4). Understanding transformers is essential for anyone building or deploying AI systems.
Assessment: Assignment
Build AI that knows your data. Covers vector databases, embedding models, chunking strategies, retrieval pipelines, hybrid search, and how to ground LLM outputs in real, verifiable information — the architecture behind enterprise AI assistants and knowledge systems.
Assessment: Assignment
AI that acts autonomously. Covers AI agents, tool use, function calling, multi-agent orchestration, planning and reasoning, memory systems, and building autonomous workflows. The frontier of applied AI — agents that can research, code, and execute tasks independently.
Assessment: Assignment
Your capstone. Learn research methodology, then produce an original dissertation on a generative AI topic of your choice — applications, ethics, architecture, or industry use cases. Supervised by an advisor. Conclude with a VIVA presentation to an academic panel.
Assessment: Dissertation (10,000+ words) + VIVA
