Overview
The Cybersecurity degree from American University of Greece stands on the following three pillars which are fully compatible with the above:
- Teaching staff with real-life cybersecurity expertise: in many cases, cybersecurity academics have a strong research portfolio but a rather weak understanding of how real-world organizations, including business and governmental agencies, deal with the evolving cyber-environment. The programmes’ faculty and instructors will combine strong academic and professional/industrial background to help our students develop a holistic and realistic view of the current cyber- environment, threats, and opportunities.
- Up to date curricula focused on developing a cybersecurity mentality: all courses have their emphasis on presenting the material in a way that students are exposed to not just the necessary theory but to real world cases where both the actual technical and business environment and conditions are presented in detail and replicated to the maximum possible extend. Our purpose is to help our students to start developing a cybersecurity mentality. Towards this end, cloud- based laboratories, hands-on exercises, and real-world use cases are an essential part of all courses.
- Connection with the industry: major industrial players are already involved in the design of the programme and their involvement will be enhanced in the near future. Their view and needs have been and are considered in the curricula development, while the knowledge required by well- known, high-quality certifications is embedded in the offered courses. Our students will be ready to take these certifications at attractive prices.
Career prospects
Given the evolving landscape, there exists a consistent demand for professionals who are grounded in the vast expanse of cybersecurity, encompassing both policies and technologies. This postgraduate programme ensures that students acquire a holistic understanding, equipping them for a future where their expertise will be invaluable.
In summation, this programme is not just a response to the present need but a proactive step towards preparing professionals for a future where cybersecurity will be even more central to our existence. Investing in this programme is an investment in a safer, more secure digital tomorrow.
