Students will familiarize with modern big data and cloud technologies, understand the privacy and security concerns and learn about popular big data and cloud computing platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On completing the course, students will be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to work with Big Data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deploy a structured lifecycle approach to data analytics problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply appropriate analytic techniques and tools to analyzing big data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand Cloud Computing Concepts and Mechanisms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn the concepts, principles, techniques and methodologies you need to manage cloud services and resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Big data concepts, principles and practical applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Big data capture, storage, sharing, management and analysis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloud Computing Concepts and Mechanisms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloud Architectures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working with Clouds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing Cloud Services and Resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Big Data and cloud computing platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>T.

The dissertation provides a good opportunity to apply theory and concepts learned in different courses to a real-world ICT problem or challenge. Students are supervised throughout their projects by a member of the academic faculty and the academic associates. After submission of the dissertation, students present their projects to classmates and faculty at a special event. <div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:800px;--awb-max-height:450px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zCYh-uQfYsM?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-412a626bc8fbbd90cea\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-412a626bc8fbbd90cea\" href=\"#tab-412a626bc8fbbd90cea\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-calendar-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:13px;\"><\/i>Duration of studies<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-412a626bc8fbbd90cea\" id=\"tab-412a626bc8fbbd90cea\">\r\n<h2>Duration of studies<\/h2>\r\n<p>The duration of the full-time study programme in order to obtain the MA degree is three (3) academic semesters.
