Materials

Materials are distributed through ITSlearning platform.

Teaching methods

Lectures, demos, laboratory work, independent study.

Exam schedules

Tests at the end of both parts. Both tests have two separate time slots.

International connections

The teaching material is in English.

Completion alternatives

Demonstrating an equivalent amount of knowledge with previous trainings or certificates. Skills test.

Student workload

Lectures and demos 10x2h = 20h
Laboratory work 4x3h=18h
Homework and self-study = 68h
Test preparation = 20h
Tests 2 x 2h = 4h

A total of 130 hours

Content scheduling

Networks start in first period and Security in second period (preliminary, can change when course begings)

Further information

The student needs his own computer that can run Intel architecture virtual machines. In addition, it is recommended to get your own USB-ethernet adapter if the machine does not have a fixed ethernet connection.
Distribution of materials and other information about the course takes place through the Itslearning platform.
