Tata Consultancy Services has joined hands with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the UK Government to create the Chevening-TCS Scholarship on cyber policy. The scholarship programme, said to be to be the first of its kind, would be for professionals in diverse fields from India.
This programme intends to develop expertise in the areas of cyber security, information assurance and online governance challenges, TCS said in a press statement. The programme will be taught by Cranfield University at its campus in Shrivenham, UK.
In the first year, six Indian nationals will be selected to undergo 12-week training in the UK. The programme will run for an initial period of three years, with the first course expected to start in February 2014.
“This is a pioneering course that not only covers the technical side of cyber security, but also brings together the related areas of public policy, such as internet governance, national security, crime prevention, and enabling online commerce and freedom of expression”, said Francis Maude, Minister for the Cabinet Office of the UK Government.
The programme curriculum has been jointly conceptualized by TCS and the FCO.
The TCS scrip was down by 1.28 per cent to close at Rs 1,967.5 on the Bombay Stock Exchange today.
