Description

A training kit on university specialisation

Choosing a university major is considered one of the biggest problems facing young people across the entire Arab world, leading a student to enrol in a major based on the advice of their parents, friends or relatives. After year after year passes, they find themselves unable to accept their university major, which leads them to become reluctant and to think about dropping out or transferring to another major.

University specialisation

University specialisation is the first feature that defines your future. What are you aiming for? What will you become in the future?

Accordingly, your role in society is determined. So, it is a decisive, fateful decision of a special nature; it should not be taken arbitrarily or for an unknown purpose, but must be made with the utmost care, because it determines the purpose of obtaining your university degree.

Objectives of university specialisation

  • Making sure to choose what suits your abilities.

  • Making the choice your own decision, and thereby bearing responsibility for making this decision.

  • Recognising that many students have changed their majors during their university studies, which has delayed their graduation.

Objectives

  • Learning the basics of cybersecurity and its key concepts.
  • Discovering the importance of cybersecurity and its role in protecting information and systems.
  • Learning about the ethical issues related to cybersecurity.
  • Discussing the concept of cybersecurity leadership and the importance of staff training.
