Security and Digitalisation
Language: English | Location: Enschede
In this Learning Community, students from various disciplines collaborate on technological solutions for societal challenges in the areas of safety, digital threats, and forensic investigation. The projects are practice-oriented and require a combination of expertise from fields such as (cyber)security, sensor technology, data analysis, software development, forensic science, and user-centered design.
Students go through the full innovation process: from problem exploration and technology research to design, prototyping, and evaluation. They build smart systems such as wearable sensors, detection tools, and secure data networks, and delve into topics like RF communication, data encryption, AI-driven fraud analysis, and real-time data processing. In doing so, they apply methods from systems design, digital forensics, and technical analysis. Collaboration in interdisciplinary teams is essential.
Students learn to leverage each other’s expertise, communicate effectively across disciplines, and work regularly with external partners such as companies, government agencies, and research institutes. In this way, they develop not only technical and analytical skills but also their role as future professionals in an
ever-evolving digital world.
