Frequently Asked Questions

The main prerequisite is a completed degree. If the candidate does not yet have a degree, they must provide a certificate of completion showing the recognition of the course and the date of graduation, which must be before the start date of the postgraduate course. If you have an undergraduate degree certificate, you must provide the diploma within 60 (sixty) days of the start of classes, and your registration will be canceled if you do not provide it.

In addition to the academic prerequisite, it is desirable that the candidate has previous professional and/or academic experience with subjects such as Python programming, operating systems, computer networks and cloud computing. However, Inteli will provide complementary content to the course, so that the candidate can study content from these areas in parallel to the classes.

 Classes will begin on February 3, 2025, with each module consisting of 10 weeks. The first module is scheduled to end on 14/04/2025, and the following modules will have their calendars presented after the start of classes, always at least one module in advance, so as to enable the student to plan their personal and professional life.

During the course, students will have classes both remotely and in person. The remote meetings will take place synchronously on Mondays and Wednesdays in the evening. The face-to-face meetings will take place every 5 or 6 weeks, always on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings.

The postgraduate course in Cyber Security will last 360 hours, spread over a total of 15 months. There will be five modules, each lasting ten weeks. Classes will start on 03/02/2025.

The postgraduate course in Cyber Security follows a hybrid model, with synchronous remote classes and face-to-face meetings every 5 weeks or so.

The remote classes will be held live, and will be recorded so that the student can consult the material later. Even though the classes are recorded, attendance on the day of the class is essential to guarantee the minimum attendance required to pass the course.

Face-to-face classes will take place on the Inteli campus or in IPT laboratories, both located in Cidade Universitária (São Paulo/SP). The classes will not be broadcast or recorded.

As Inteli's methodology is 100% project-based, all meetings, even theoretical ones, are geared towards the development of the project that will be developed during each module. The methodology is anchored by self-studies, which are individual activities carried out with theoretical and practical content curated by the course teaching team and are aimed at structuring the student's technical knowledge before the meetings.

In general, the face-to-face meetings are hands-on, with activities in laboratories and practical applications together with the supervising teachers. Some of the remote meetings are aimed at consolidating key theoretical content for the course.

Yes, students must attend at least 75% of classes (remote and face-to-face) to pass each module. The recording of remote classes is a resource for reviewing important content and covering any unplanned absences.

There is no application or registration fee for the postgraduate course in Cyber Security.
