La Salle’s Master's in Cybersecurity is unique because it is based on an eminently practical methodology.
The MCS Master’s begins in mid-October and ends once the student defends the Master’s Thesis (TFM). Theoretical and practical classes end in April/May and, from that month onwards, the student dedicates him or herself to the Master’s Thesis, which can be defended during the following month of July (or September in extraordinary call).
All subjects are both theoretical and practical from the very first day. The classes are eminently practical and are held in the specialised telematics labs on the La Salle Barcelona campus.
To participate in each of the classes, the student must bring a laptop with at least the following specifications:
- 64-bit operating system (Windows, Linux or MAC OS)
- Minimum of 16 GB of RAM
- Minimum of 200 GB of available disk space (HD)
At the beginning of the course each student will be provided with the software “VMWare Workstation” for them to participate in practical sessions. For each of the subjects, students will also be provided with a specific virtual testing environment. For some of the subjects the student must use “Virtual BOX” instead of VMWare.
The student will have access to the subject teacher via email to ask any questions they might have about the sessions given.
Smart Learning
The new normal requires a new way of teaching and learning, adapted to a constantly changing situation that demands flexible learning, without having a single format and method, but multiple options that adapt to all the new educational needs of students in an intelligent and technological way.
La Salle Campus Barcelona, a pioneer institution in the incorporation of technologies in education, has implemented Smart Learning since September 2020, a new educational model and technological system that adapts to on-site, blended, distance and online training formats, in all its multiple versions and possible combinations, according to the needs of the program and the students.
With this new educational model of post-Covid training, we reinforce and consolidate our educational method "Learning by Challenge" that enhances our differentiating DNA based on: technology, innovation, entrepreneurship and internationalization to train people with values, people who contribute and that is one of the differentiating characteristics of the students at La Salle-URL. An educational model in which the student is at the center of the educational process and that responds to the new needs of our students and society and to the new needs of companies and institutions.
