The Centre of Digital Media/ Mount Royal University: Cybersecurity Certification/ Shaw Academy

Nov. 27, 2019 The Centre of Digital Media: I found this sponsored content in the Star Metro:

The Master of Digital Media program is a limited, competitive entry program that starts in September every year. The requirements listed below are intended to equal or exceed the general graduate admission requirements at all partner institutions.

These requirements constitute a minimum standard of achievement and fulfillment of them does not guarantee admission. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request an interview with an applicant either face-to-face, online or by telephone.

Minimum Academic Requirements For the MDM Degree


  • Minimum Undergraduate Degree
    • Applicants must have completed a 4-year undergraduate degree (or equivalent) acceptable to all 4 CDM Partner Institutions in a field related to digital media, for example:
    • Computer science, engineering, education, management, economics, communication, art, design or performing arts, art history, architecture, linguistics, psychology or philosophy.
    • Note: If applying from another related discipline, applicants must make the case for the relationship between the discipline in which they hold their previous degree and this program and how they would benefit from the MDM program.

  • Minimum Undergraduate Grades

English Language Proficiency

If applicable, you must demonstrate proficiency in the English language. The MDM admissions committee accepts one of the following proficiency tests:
  • Minimum score of 100 in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), with no less than a score of 20 in each category.
  • Minimum score of 7 on the International English Language Test System (IELTS - the academic NOT the general test) with a minimum of 6.5 in all sections.
Don't meet the English Language Proficiency requirements?
Consider enrolling in Pre-MDM, a 2 semester program designed to help students whose second language is English prepare for entry into the Master of Digital Media program.
My opinion: I know to enter a Masters program, you have to have a 4 yr degree before it.


Mount Royal University: Cybersecurity Certification: This was also in the Star Metro:

Prepare to earn a globally recognized credential in cybersecurity.


Today’s digital environments are highly complex and the demand for cybersecurity expertise is on the rise across all types of industries. Professionals trained in cybersecurity possess the unique ability to protect digital assets and guard intellectual property. As one of the world’s fastest-growing technology fields, many experts see the cybersecurity job market doubling in the next five years — which means there will be a critical need for qualified individuals.

In partnership with York University’s School of Continuing Studies, Mount Royal is pleased to offer two stackable credentials in cybersecurity to deepen your understanding of cybersecurity topics, strengthen your skills as an IT manager or project lead and prepare you to advance your career in cybersecurity.

Develop the skills that employers need

York University’s Program Advisory Council, comprised of senior executives from many of Canada’s leading organizations, ensures these programs focus on the critical, cross-functional skills and knowledge areas that employers value most. This includes ethical responsibility and enhancing skills in problem-solving and verbal communication.
 

Earn your CISSP designation faster

Along with the Cyber Security Fundamentals Certificate, the Advanced Cyber Security Certificate prepares you to earn the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) designation from the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium ((ISC)²). (ISC)² is an international, non-profit membership association for information security leaders. This globally recognized designation is required for most senior cybersecurity roles.

Those interested in progressing to the CISSP exam will need to meet experience requirements as required by (ISC)². Learn more about CISSP designation requirements.

My opinion: The job title sounded interesting, but it seems hard.
