Overview

AI & Cybersecurity

The Professional Certificate in Data Science (PCIDS) – Cybersecurity program, delivered by Datachord in collaboration with STU, provides learners with both foundational and advanced knowledge in data science, data protection techniques, data analysis, statistics, and data visualization, as well as integrated cybersecurity data and comprehensive knowledge ranging from basic to advanced cybersecurity.

 

The program is accredited and recognized by the International Society for Data Science and Analytics (ISDSA) in the United States. The curriculum is structured into levels, combining theory, hands-on practice, and real-world projects, and is delivered by international experts in Data Science and Cybersecurity.

 

 

The PCiDS™ issued by Datachord holds international value and is accredited by reputable professional organizations.

 

 

The course is delivered in a hybrid format, combining online learning with in-person sessions at STU ITPC.

 

Students will not only gain strong technical knowledge and enhanced practical skills, but also develop fluent English communication and presentation skills, logical thinking, the ability to receive and process scientific information, as well as professional time and project management skills.

DATA SCIENCE (PCiDS)

The program equips students with the essential skills and knowledge to enter the rapidly growing fields of Data Science, statistical analysis, data visualization, artificial intelligence, and data integration in cybersecurity. The curriculum is structured into four levels, from foundational to advanced:

 

  • Foundation Level – 20hours

Introduction to AI, Data Science, personal data protection, basic ETL, and fundamental machine learning.

 

  • Intermediate Level – 20hours

Graph theory, applications in cybersecurity, and hands-on practice with NetworkX.

 

  • Advanced Level – 40 hours

Data visualization, cybersecurity data integration, and advanced statistical analysis (Markov models, Bayesian methods, Chi-square).

 

  • PCIDS™ Qualifying and Certification Rounds – 90 hours

Capstone project (Graduation project)

This is the final stage of the PCiDS™ certification assessment process, where projects are evaluated by a panel of experienced experts to ensure academic standards and practical relevance. Learners complete a comprehensive cybersecurity project covering machine learning, graph theory, data processing, reporting, pipelines, AI deployment, and interactive dashboards.
