Observations and suggestions

Observe that the first semester is relatively easy. It makes a lot of sense to take additional elective courses at the first semester.

In particular, cybersec elective courses of cryptology at Tartu are a good choice for people interested in tech and math!

You are supposed to declare your courses for the first semester during the first half of september, using the OIS system. Contact the study administration people at IT-235 Raja 15, 12618 Tallinn, phone 6203528, email i@ttu.ee if you need help!

Right now it is not possible to declare the Freudenthal course. Do not despair: it will become available later and it is ok to start the study without declaring this course immediately.

First semester speciality lecturers

• E. Tikk eneken.tikk@mil.ee
• P. Leis Paul.Leis@seb.ee
• J. Kivimaa jyri.kivimaa@mil.ee
• M. Freudenthal margus@cyber.ee

Timetable

The following timetable does not cover additional, free elective courses: look up these yourselves as you declare the course.

The "Foundations and Management of Cyber Security" by Paul Leis and the "Information and Cyber Security Assurance in Organisations" by Jüri Kivimaa is taught in the following way:

• in September Leis will give lectures twice a week (also Kivimaa time)
• in October Kivimaa will give lectures twice a week (also Leis time)
• in Nov-Dec they will have seminars and labs in parallel.

The Wednesday morning lectures 8-12 by Leis will take place only in September.

The Secure software design by Margus Freudenthal will be held on Thursday 14-16 in VI-125 during September, and on Wednesday 10-12 in Cyber 126 during October-December.

Suggestion: cryptology at Tartu.

Cryptology I, Cryptographic protocols, and Cryptology II)

• Crypto I lectures Mon 12-14 and Tue 12-14, exercise sessions Mon 14-16 and Wed 10-12. You're advised to visit at least the exercise sessions. The course takes place during the first half of the semester, last classes take place during the week of Oct. 19th to Oct. 25th.
