Teaching method
The program is narrative. It has five parts that follow the logic of the program title: CYBERSECURITY. Its teaching methodologies, as befits the faculty's DNA, are interactive theoretical-practical classes that involve student participation. In some cases, students may decide to give presentations on the topic of the session, in which case the interaction becomes thicker and more multicenter.
Evaluation method
Final exam, or paper. The paper, if this is the choice of the students, must be from 15 to 25 pages, and must follow the editorial norms of any of NOVA School of Law's scientific journals.
Subject matter
The confrontation of the objectives with the described contents demonstrates the full coherence that exists between them. The articulation is made in several planes and is always present, although some objectives relate more directly to some contents. Thus, for example, the first and second topics of the program aim to provide conceptual grounding through the sociological and legal reflection of cybersecurity as well as its typologies, corresponding to the first objective. The third, fourth and fifth topics correspond to the second and third objectives, by demonstrating the political context, legal framework and public policies related to cybersecurity, within the broader conception of security.
