Candidates learn to use command-based interfaces, as this provides independency regarding distribution. The course builds on competence from Network Infrastructure.
The aim of the course is to provide competence to operate Linux-based systems. Linux is an operating system built on open source, and it is a common operating system among researchers, as webservers and among personnel within ICT security. Linux is broadly used by businesses to secure, protect, and analyse networks and data traffic.

Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
