Course Overview

Electromagnetic Compatibility Essentials

The course "Electromagnetic Compatibility Essentials" offers all interested participants a diverse and simple introduction to the complex topic of electromagnetic compatibility. It comprises numerous learning videos which were recorded just for this course, varying animations, and interactive elements that participants can use to review the learning objectives. The course explores the following question: How do technical devices influence each other through (unwanted) electromagnetic effects? A basic knowledge of electrical engineering is required. Access to all course materials is free of charge; a course certificate can also be provided. It is possible to register for the course via the edX website.

Cybersecurity Courses

The Cutting-edge Education Programme sets another milestone by providing an innovative TU Graz online learning offer on the hot topic of cyber-security. More information about the offer can be found on edX.org, and the courses will be fully available from April 11, 2023, and on. These courses, "Side-Channel Security: Developing a Side-Channel Mindset" and "Introduction to Software Side Channels and Mitigations" , offer access to essential information in a way that is sure to entertain – as a sitcom – but that also enables you to correctly assess the security of systems and software. No prior technical knowledge is required for the first course, meaning that this continuing education programme is not only suitable for computer scientists, but for anyone who is interested in the subject and can spare two to three hours a week. Those who would like to deepen their knowledge can complete two additional course programmes or the complete six-course package.
