COURSE CURRICULUM

In the first year of this program, students will gain foundational knowledge in key areas of computing, cybersecurity, and digital forensics. The "Architecture and Operating Systems" module introduces students to the core components of computing systems, covering CPUs, operating systems, and decision logic. The "Core Computing Concepts for Cyber Security" module sets the stage for specialized study, exploring the evolution of web design, database management, and cybersecurity. Building on this foundation, students will delve into "Cyber Security and Forensics Essentials," where they will learn to use investigative tools for network defense, access control, log auditing, and attack analysis. "Programming" serves as a critical module, where students enhance their coding skills by learning algorithms and object-oriented programming in Python and Dart. The "System Administration and Internetworking" module focuses on hands-on network management, providing practical experience with Linux and Windows servers, and preparing students for certifications like MCSA. In the second year, the focus shifts to more specialized areas like "Ethical Hacking," where students learn to identify vulnerabilities through penetration testing, and "Forensics Fundamentals," which emphasizes hands-on forensic investigations using popular tools. Students also explore advanced systems through modules like "Operating Systems and Internetworking," and "Security and Cryptography," which focuses on securing systems and cryptographic techniques. In the final year, students dive deeper into malware forensics and vulnerability exploitation, equipping them with real-world skills for analyzing and defending against cyber threats. Through this progression, students develop expertise in key areas that prepare them for careers in cybersecurity and digital forensics.
