Cyber Security
The Cyber Security curriculum is designed as an interdisciplinary and professional program to offer students the fundamentals of cyber security. We consider contextualizing the findings of a study or a research to be an imperative in order to produce knowledge that works for the
problems that the reality dictates in Kosovo in harmony with international best practices. This
knowing the lack of studies and research conducted for Kosovo context. Thus, the programme pays most of its attention to the Kosovo specifications. It encompasses skills essential for cybersecurity, organizational behavior, structure, research, and writing.
The program aims to provide students with both theoretical knowledge of the main features of cyber security and practical skills in order to bring an added value into the internet world in general and within the cyber security in particular.
