Developing Cyber Security Education and its Collaboration in Universities of Applied Sciences

Jamk University of Applied Sciences is coordinating the project aimed for the progressive refinement of existing cyber security education within Universities of Applied Sciences of Finland. The project’s primary objective revolves around the augmentation of the current cyber security course portfolio, with a specific focus on tailoring field-specific cyber security courses to align seamlessly with the dynamic demands of industries such as healthcare, business, and other pertinent domains of technology such as the construction sector. A noteworthy facet of this project is the development of open university education along with degree specific education. Furthermore, all new educational resources stemming from this endeavor will be cataloged within the Library of Open Educational Resources, aoe.fi.

Integral to the project is the establishment of a collaborative network between the entities participating in the venture. This collaborative network seeks to synergize efforts, insights, and experiences across the spectrum of cyber security education.  In a world characterized by escalating digital interconnectivity, the project’s undertakings are paramount. Through strengthening the educational environment within the domain of cybersecurity, this initiative not only attends to current demands but also actively empowers individuals, businesses, and institutions with the expertise to protect against emerging cyber threats.
