Content: In order to manage information security it is crucial to be able to handle complex problems in a wide range of application areas. During the course, students are faced with real, practical problems in an organization that they are expected to solve by applying the knowledge and skills acquired in previous courses in the program. Students are also expected to be able to find other appropriate knowledge and apply it if the situation requires this. During the course, students will plan a project to solve the problem, implement the project according to the plan and finally evaluate the project based on given criteria. The course is based on group work in collaboration with external partners.

Teaching Methods: The employed teaching methods are anchored in flipped classroom and case-based learning. Flipped classroom means focusing on exploring topics in greater depth and creating meaningful learning opportunities in class time, while content delivery is made outside of the classroom. Case-based learning means that scenarios from real-world examples are used to as a point of departure for in class activities and assignments. In this course these teaching methods are implemented through online lectures, individual readings, information searching, seminars, student presentations and supervision.
