In today’s digitalized world, almost everything works online. The importance of information security cannot be stressed enough, and its value is constantly on the rise as all kinds of cloud-based services continue to gain traction across the globe.

Staying safe and up to date requires top-notch cybersecurity solutions that protect our precious data and resources. We need this on all levels from single individuals to large-scale global enterprises, and the time to start developing them is now.

At Kajaani University of Applied Sciences, we’ve embarked on a quest to improve the cloud and cybersecurity skills of the continent by offering professional-grade, all-online, and always available courses that cover the most crucial aspects – and beyond – of today’s most modern technology.

Together with Microsoft and numerous expert partners, among them companies like Women4Cyber Finland, Atea, Elisa, and Tietoevry, we’ve developed the Cloud and Cybersecurity microdegree. The degree, consisting of six courses, requires no previous knowledge of the field and is available for everyone regardless of the location, time, or device.

The degree covers topics ranging from fundamental concepts to leading cloud-services like Azure and aims to provide everyone with the opportunity to improve their skills.

Professional knowledge based on Microsoft’s certified study paths. Entirely online, always available, empowering Europe’s future one expert at a time - that’s the Cloud and Cybersecurity microdegree.

The cloud and cybersecurity microdegree is part of Microsoft Skills for Jobs, a joint venture towards making the latest and most advanced technology solutions more accessible for everyone. The courses within the program are aimed at everyone interested in updating their knowledge or starting something entirely new. The study materials are co-developed with expert organizations working in the field, which further ensures their contemporary relevance.

Target Audience: Professionals across all fields and backgrounds. Cloud and cybersecurity skills are needed everywhere, and their significance is on the rise.

Location: The courses are available across the globe in Finland, the European Union, and other areas.

Delivery: Independent study consisting of theory and practice, available online around the clock

Participation Cost: Free
