Podcasts about masters programs

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: List of Masters Programs in Tech Policy, Public Policy and Security (Europe), published by sarahfurstenberg on May 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We created this non-exhaustive List which was inspired and based on Konstantins personal research into Masters programmes. We expanded it with the help of others across the policy community. It was created for the 2023 cohort of fellows of the EU Tech Policy Fellowship hosted by Training for Good and includes a list of Masters in Europe, the UK and the US. CLICK HERE for the list. Limitations and Epistemic Status The list is based on personal experience, research, and limited feedback from others in the community. It is curated from a European perspective. Thus, the numbers and deadlines take European/EEA citizens as a reference point. Furthermore, whilst Masters from Europe, the UK and the US are listed, we have focussed on researching Masters in Europe. The latter lists are currently very incomplete. It's important to emphasise that this list is not exhaustive and may not represent all options of Masters in this Field. Additionally, the quality and relevance of each program may vary depending on individual needs, goals, and interests. Therefore, we recommended that individuals interested in pursuing a career in tech policy or policy in general conduct their own research, explore various programs, and consider multiple sources of information before making a decision! Ultimately, the decision to pursue a particular graduate program should be based on a thorough evaluation of individual goals, resources, and circumstances. What this post is not This post does not outline what to study and what to aim for in choosing your Masters Degree. It is supposed to help people who have already decided that they want to pursue a Masters in Tech Policy, Security Studies or Public Policy but does not mean to imply that these are your only or even best options if you want to enter the Tech Policy field. A possibly safer and more classical approach of entering EU policy is to study basic law and economics subjects as they still hold a high standing across departments and fields in policy (See this article on “Joining the EU bubble”). This would also give you more flexible career capital than tech policy degrees. To elaborate on these different paths a detailed post (such this one) outlining what to aim for in your studies if you want to contribute to tech policy, would be incredibly valuable and we encourage you to write this up and share your perspective if you have spent some time thinking about this! Created for who? This list is aimed at people interested in working in public policy (especially in Europe) and in tech policy with a potential to specialise in AI but only provides a very narrow selection of options. Degrees with "tech" or "AI'' related words in the name are helpful to quickly signal your relevance on these topics. Many of the Masters in this list are geared towards people with a non-technical undergraduate degree in social sciences, economics etc. Thus, it excludes many Masters on Artificial Intelligence and Tech Policy that require you to have had a Computer Sciences or technical background. We wanted to share the list to help with some of the preliminary research in choosing a Masters programme. The inclusion of Security Studies Masters programmes comes from the argument that it seems like a viable path from which to enter inter/national think tanks or institutions working on relevant AI policy without having technical specialisations beforehand. Other considerations Besides studying in Europe, studying in the US can be a great and high-impact option since many degrees are both highly regarded in Europe as well as allowing you to potentially work in US policy. We highly encourage you to read this post on worki...

On today's episode of The Sensory Corner, we'll be speaking with Occupational Therapist, Rebecca Burgess (@beckyb.ot) on what the difference is between what aspiring OT's learn in their Masters Programs versus what they will encounter in the workforce. Rebecca, while only out of school for 8 months, jumped straight into a full time OT position, and has had a growing paediatric caseload - so it's safe to say she's earned her stripes as an OT. She'll be reflecting on her time as an OT Student, highlighting what was applicable from her studies, what wasn't applicable, things to expect going into the field, and what she learned on the job. As we learn about the OT curriculum and the OT Profession we'll be picking out key tips and tricks Sensory & Special Needs Parents can implement to best support their children! Take notes, message us and Rebecca with your questions and/or comments, leave us a review on iTunes, and enjoy!

As time goes by, brevity seems more important. As such, I'll try and be as concise as possible here.I'd like to learn how to hack stuff.That's as simple as I can break it down. After meeting with an IT security professional, I've began taking steps toward this end. Today is actually day nine in my current endeavor, though I've only just begun ye ol' Blogger.I figure there are others like myself who know next to nothing about breaking into the computer tech security field, but who are also like myself intrigued by it. Well, I'm starting from scratch and documenting the journey--however far it takes me.We discussed some short and long term goals last week:Security + certification from CompTIA...this is great book knowledge type stuff that will help down the road on a resume as far as actually landing a job. I've yet to get the Security + book, but this needs to happen soon as this is something that I can begin immediately.CISSP...this one is a must have according to my friend, and in order to even get it, you've got to have something like 5 years of experience. Apparently "experience" in this case is a somewhat flexible term that many things can count toward. More shall be revealed; this too is a little ways down the road, though a definite must have for career purposes.OSCP Security...I'm perhaps most excited about when I'm ready to tackle this bad boy. This is a very hands on security certification that cost about $1100 for the online class and 90 days of the lab. At the end of it, you are tested by hacking into a network over a period of 24 hours. The deeper you get, the better you score. Very cool. Programming...I've always wanted to learn a computer language, and if I'm going to pursue this security stuff, now is the time to go ahead and do that. He suggested Ruby on Rails or Python.MOOC...this stands for Massive Open Online Courses. In essence, they are totally free university courses from big time names like MIT, Harvard, Berkeley and Stanford hosted on sites such as edx.org, coursera.org and udacity.com. Can't believe I'd never heard of this until now actually. As fate would have it, MIT has an introductory programming course via edx.org on the Python language that started Oct 3rd and an introductory Computer Science course that starts on the 15th. I've enrolled in these and a few others, but for the sake of completion, I am committed to these two for now.Tons of specialized GIAC training from SANS. This stuff is incredibly costly, though there are some ways to help out at conferences for a discounted rate. After getting my feet wet, I'll consider delving further into these options.Formal Schooling...we talked a bit about Masters Programs for security. There are significant scholarships available for this through the government that are bound to agreements to work for the government for x amount of time upon graduation. Pretty good deal. Norwich and James Madison Universities both have online Masters programs.Quite the handful of items to consider. Thus far, the EDX Python course has proved to be pretty cool. The EDX site is extremely well put together. Very minimalist layout that works well. I'll be producing an accompanying podcast to this blog on a weekly basis. Both of which will serve simply to follow me, a noob to InfoSec, on my journey into the unknown.May the force be with you,/e
