Overview
Phase 1
We will teach you the technological tools that allow you to get started with databases and large quantities of data. You will learn how to programme and get an introduction into cybersecurity: essential for the processing and administration of data. You will learn how to build dashboards in order to allow companies to help their own business and their clients more efficiently.
We show you the technical tricks and techniques that allow you to get working with hacking tools and defence techniques such as security against digital burglary, forensic analysis, and firewalls. Through practice, you will discover the meaning and strength of terms such as “security by design” and “privacy by design”.
You also will be taught the basic principles of entrepreneurship, financial management, (project)management, law, personal development, communication and giving presentations.
Phase 2
After concluding the first phase, it is now time to go that extra mile. You don’t have to choose between Data or Security, this programme combines the best of both worlds!
We mimic life-like environments that you use as your playing field. We simulate cyberattacks and teach you how to detect any weak spots in the security. You learn to think like a hacker and how to anticipate the way a smart security expert should. Game on!
At the end of the course, you get the opportunity to become a Certified Ethical Hacker!
The management courses will also move on to the next level: you will get the opportunity to further develop your strategic and financial knowledge as well as your communication skills.
Phase 3
After learning to think and act like a hacker, you take the role of a security expert in this phase: make a secure network and build firewalls to protect it.
In this world of big data, it is also important to learn the principles of artificial intelligence and machine learning. How can the computer make predictions and decisions based on processing historical data?
And finally, time to try everything “for real”! The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Thomas More sends out its sons and daughters to one of the many companies that are looking for passionate students.
For one entire term, you will do an internship in a company such as Cronos, Ordina, IBM, KPMG, iAdvise, Contribute Group, Ordina, Cranium or Digipolis.
During your last year, you will also work on a bachelors’ thesis. In this too, we will optimally support you!
In practice
Practice will be the common thread throughout your programme. Thanks to projects with companies you will get the opportunity to test new technology in an actual working environment. You will get assignments taken straight from the heart of the business.
To top it all off, you will conclude this option with a full term of the internship. Our students have already made impressions in companies such as Telenet, ING, Deloitte, KBC, Cronos, Keyrus, Proximus and Delta Lloyd.
Personal mentoring
Each year’s classes are divided into two parts that each last 13 weeks. During those 13 weeks, we focus intensely on a select number of classes. At the end of this period, there are exams. As such, we can spread out the study load more evenly throughout the academic year. What’s more, this means we can focus more on personal mentorship and feedback. Practical exercises, group projects, cooperation, and sharing knowledge are all central.
All of this mentorship and knowledge you will receive from (guest) lectors that are firmly grounded in the business world. Add to that a healthy no-nonsense approach, and you end up with a unique mix of authenticity, expertise, and coaching!
