About SPECTRO
SPecialised Education programmes in CybersecuriTy and Robotics (SPECTRO) will focus on the design and delivery of two double-degree master’s programmes (ISCED Level 7, 120 ECTS) and self-standing learning modules in two key digital technology areas for the future of Europe:
The online modules in Robotics and Cybersecurity are a flexible, self-paced learning experience designed by leading experts in the field. Whether you’re looking to deepen your technical knowledge or explore new domains, these innovative online courses offer practical, up-to-date content tailored to your learning needs. Each module can be taken independently, with a certificate of completion awarded upon successful assessment. For learners seeking a more comprehensive achievement, completing a curated set of modules leads to a Basics or Advanced certification in Robotics or Cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity Certification
By completing our courses, you can earn two types of certificates:
- Cybersecurity – Basics Certificate can be obtained by a student that completes Foundations of Cybersecurity – plus two other courses from the Entry level modules and one module on I&E. Altogether, the modules should cover at least 30 learning hours to receive a certificate, and the quizzes should be completed with 100% success rate (retake is possible).
- Cybersecurity – Advanced Certificate can be obtained by a student that completes 3 courses from the Advanced modules plus one module on I&E. Altogether, the modules should cover at least 30 learning hours to receive a certificate, and the quizzes should be completed with 100% success rate (retake is possible).
