UFMG – Federal University of Minas Gerais

Fundep, the UFMG support organization, has open registration for courses at Biological Instrument Engineering And the Data science applied to cybersecurity. The first will be held in person at the Pampulha campus and the other will be virtual. Entering the second half of 2022.

Synthetic Biology and Entrepreneurship
a a path Biological Instrument Engineering It is intended for technical students, undergraduates, graduates from various fields – preferably with knowledge of biology – and professionals interested in synthetic biology, biotechnology and entrepreneurship.

programming and statistics
Due to the incremental changes in cybersecurity driven by data science, it is increasingly necessary to train and/or update professionals on the subject. distance course in Introduction to data science applied to cybersecurity It aims to provide students with a first contact with the subject through theory and practice.

The training is aimed at graduates, undergraduate or postgraduate students in computer science and the like who are familiar with programming logic and statistics, with some experience in the Python programming language. In order to make better use of the course, it is recommended that participants have concepts of cyber security.

With two semesters, the course offers 100 places in each. The first term will have classes from August 1 to October 31, with registration open until July 31, and the second, from December 1 this year to February 28, 2023, with enrollment open from October 15 to November 30.
