CDT Fort Cohort Attend First Block Module at Queen’s University Belfast

The CDT Fort cohort recently gathered at Queen’s University Belfast for their first block module, marking a significant milestone for the cohort including the three University of Surrey students as it was their inaugural visit to the QUB campus. The students participated in the Foundations of Cyber Security module, led by Dr Tuan Hoang from CSIT, hosted at the University’s Graduate School.

The module provided valuable insights into the cyber security landscape, key concepts, risk and threat identification, and the societal impact of cyber security. In addition to academic learning, the students enjoyed a range of social activities, including a walking tour of Belfast, dinner with the CDT Manager Adele Ward and Co-Director Professor Jesus Martinez del Rincon, and engaging tours and demos at CSIT. The visit concluded with a lively evening of bowling.

The cohort will reconvene for their next block module, Secure Open Networks, at the University of Surrey in February, continuing their journey of collaboration and innovation in the field of cyber security.
