CDT Fort Celebrates Completion of Compulsory Block Modules by First Cohort

The CDT Fort is proud to announce that the first cohort of students has successfully completed all compulsory block modules, culminating in the recent completion of the Data Privacy and Law module at Queen's University Belfast (QUB). This milestone marks a significant achievement in their academic journey and sets a strong foundation for their upcoming group research projects in May and PhD projects starting in October.

Data Privacy and Law Module at QUB

The Data Privacy and Law module at QUB provided students with an in-depth understanding of the legal frameworks and ethical considerations surrounding data privacy. Topics covered included GDPR compliance, data protection principles, and the impact of privacy laws on research practices. This module is crucial for students as it equips them with the knowledge to conduct responsible research and build trusted research foundations. Understanding data privacy laws ensures that their research adheres to ethical standards and protects the rights of individuals, fostering trust and integrity in their work.

Open Secure Networks Module in Surrey

Prior to the Data Privacy and Law module, students participated in the Open Secure Networks module at the University of Surrey in February. This module covered key areas such as network security principles, trustworthiness in networks, and the foundations of 5G technology. It provided researchers with a solid foundation in network management, security, and the latest advancements in network technologies. These insights are essential as they prepare to embark on their group research projects and PhD studies.

As the first cohort prepares to embark on further research the knowledge and skills gained from these modules will enable them to conduct responsible and impactful research. The completion of these modules not only signifies their academic progress but also their commitment to upholding ethical standards and contributing to the advancement of trusted research foundations.

Congratulations to the first cohort on this remarkable achievement!
