FIT BUT is a popular destination for international students

Our faculty does not remain empty during the summer months. At the beginning of July (from June 30 to July 4) it was visited by 32 students of the master's study program from Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya. Their program combined professional training with an introduction to the Central European region.

The professional content of the Academic Program was provided, as usual, by the Institute of Information Systems at FIT VUT, namely by Doc. Ondřej Ryšavý and Doc. Petr Matoušek; Nelson Mutua, a doctoral student at our faculty and a graduate of Strathmore University, also participated in the teaching. In addition to classes focused on topics in the field of cybersecurity (network configuration, threat detection, malware, etc.), the students also took a field trip to the Brno branch of AT&T, toured Brno with the ESN BUT student club (see photos), and went on a day trip to Prague.

Our faculty has a long tradition of cooperation with Strathmore University: it began in 2013, and since 2015, intensive cooperation has been taking place in the field of cybersecurity. We would like to add that in the second half of August, the traditional BISSIT (Brno International Summer School in Information Technology) event will continue the activities of foreign students at our faculty. Selected students (this time from the bachelor's program) from Kenya will also participate again.
